I actually put three feet of 3/8" vacuum hose between my pcv and the upper intake manifold vacuuum tree. About 8 inches before the manifold connection, I put a clear fuel filter with a paper element in it.
Holy *****.
I couldn't believe how much oil is getting by in vapor form.
I cleaned out my upper intake manifold which was filthy.

Only bad thing is, I'm still fouling number 5.
Did ANOTHER dry compression test
5-108 PSI
6-108
7-112
8-118
these were off of it cold.
I still have no smoke ever.

Anyway, I am convinced that it is a blown head gasket or bad oil control ring on number 5. I just have to figure out three days that I can take my car out of service to tear it down.

Then, might as well make a 331 out of it right?
