Re: PCV Valve

I have a similar problem on my '88 Turbo 16v. This car is a good looking
but mechanical beater, at about 190K. The TURBO smokes at idle and
start-up, but the plugs are nice and clean. It was a $600 purchase anda
new 5-speed to replace the blown auto.

Upon acceleration under pressure, oils spurts out of the dipstick, and
smells like hot engine oil, go figure!

I have heard two theories. The first seems benign and suggests that the
TURBO is somehow pressurizing the crankcase through the valve cover via
the ventilation hose and, the other suggests blow-by past the rings.

I have not driven this fine piece for several months. However, the last
time I drove it, I disconnected and partially plugged the ventilation hose
from the valve cover. This cured the oil-spray problem, but know it just
smokes oil out the tail pipe like a banchie. I parked and haven't played
with it since.

My SAABs were a serious hobby at $600 a month in parts and fun. Now a I
have a beautiful girlfriend who enjoys my attention, so I parked my SAABs
and 911 and went out and bought a 850T VOLVO that costs less than $200 a
month and kicks any SAABs Ass!
