Stang_ROTY · 08-01-2001, 11:38 AM

I have only one line connecting my PCV to the intake and it is blowing oil up from the crankcase into the plenum on a brand new motor. I called Edelbrock and they said that even the stock 5.0 gets some oil in the plenum from the PCV but I should of used a plate that was included with the lower manifold. I never got that plate from the people I bought the lower from. Has anyone else encountered this problem and what is the potential for hurting my new engine by allowing this oil to keep seeping into my air supply? the oil seems to puddle at the plenum cover. The only way I can fix this is to remove the plenum and lower intake which I'm not thrilled about. Thanks
