482 fe intake issue

[Jerry Clayton]

Did you plumb one or both of the valve cover breathers to the bottom of the carb? It looks pretty well oilly there-------do you have the baffels in the valve covers?? The drain back shields??
Many times I have found severe oil leakage like yours resulting from intake manifolds that have been ported-on the FE engines this often results with leakage around the pushrod hole-----

Hi Jerry.

No my 2 valve covers have just standard breathers not connected to bottom of the carb. I haven't got baffles in the valve covers.
