Victor Jr. manifold is in - have questions about breather cap on valve covers

Stang_ROTY · 08-19-2004, 06:24 PM

The Victor Jr. intake is in, but in the process I've lost my PCV system. I put a breather cap on the passenger side valve cover in replacement of the oil fill cap and I noticed shortly after I got the engine warm that a mist or gasses were coming out of the breather cap. Is this normal or am I in big trouble????

That is normal, There should not be clouds of it, but slight vapor is fine.. If you oil is in good nature and clean and no presence of water or excessive dirt then your ok.
