I finally just got everything going again and actually drove to work today. I went for a nice ride and noticed the smell of burning oil so pulled over and found oil all over the top of the tin on passenger side around the vent and base of intake manifolds. It is also misfiring pretty bad on that side. Could it be coming from the vent itself? Where else could that be coming from?

Not a carb guy, but I think the catch can should drain back to the oil filler. As for 3k rpm? The object is to get t to operating temp as quickly as possible. That's not going to happen under 3k.
Three possibilities on the oil leak. As stated already; oil pressure sender, head vent hose is off, or a valve cover is leaking. |
