oil blowby smell
 
HI, I HAVE A 428 AND SOMETIMES I GET A QUICK SMELL FROM THE ENGINE, IT IS HARD TO TELL BUT IT SMELLS LIKE BLOWBY BUT I CAN'T BE SURE. I HAVE ONE PVC VALVE ON ONE VALVER COVER AND JUST A BREATHER CAP ON THE OTHER. WHAT DO YOU THINK, THANKS TERRY

Terry,

Check the PCV valve to be sure it is ok. Then on the other breather cap, feel for a film on the bottom outside of it. I have a hose from mine that goes to the air cleaner and that sucks the fumes out and into the carb just as the one from the PCV valve does.

Ron :)

Only form of breathing is a PCV valve? You need more breathing.

Most FE's are happiest with at least 3 breathers. Early 427's had 4. Both valve covers, the oil filler tube in the intake and the breather / pcv valve behind the carb. (or a down draft tube)
