Help, A little right side blow by!
 

I have had a problem with blow by since i put new valve covers on that had breathers...it blows out oil at idle and drips on the headers, causing a big cloud of smoke. This is a brand new motor so its anything like that. any ideas? Please help its annoying

Few things here:

(1) If you're running a PCV, ditch the breathers. A PCV system should be closed.
(2) If the valve covers don't have baffles in them, put some in.
(3) If the valve covers do have baffles and you're getting this kind of blow-by, then either the rings didn't seat or you've got problems with the engine build. Run a leak-down test to see how bad the blow-by really is.

Yea ty for the reply, I found that it was that i had to remove the baffles to create room for the roller rockers. Im wishing now i would havae went with a high volume oil pump though!:(

Jeff, do you happen to make the trip to bowling green kentucky @ beech bend for the nmra?

Run the breathers into a oil separator.
