so i added a breather filter onto my valve cover. now every time i go into boost i throw oil vapors all over everything. has anyone else with a 3800 had this problem and if so what you did to fix it. i was thinking about a catch can for it but not sure how the oil goes back into the system.

Re: breather filter mod
hmm, thats not good. somehow boost is leaking into your crank case. -
Re: breather filter mod
you plugged the pcv hole right?
How much boost you running and what kind of breather do you have? The one that screws into the oil neck or did you remove your neck as well and throw a breather on?Comment

Re: breather filter mod
fifteen to twenty pounds on a 35r I did not plug off. My pcv since it is built into my intake manifold I don't know how the breather filter is one that screws into the valve cover spectre auto zone cone typeComment

There is a small bypass around the TB plate that feeds air DIRECTLY into the crankcase. This is part of the PVC system. Unless you plug that line - like 97rs4life asked.Robert - owner www.FirebirdV6.com/CamaroV6.com

Re: breather filter mod
I have yet to hear success from a valve cover breather on these cars.
Andrew and I both plugged the PCV inside the TB and drilled holes to vent outside the TB and havent had a single problem yet.sigpic

Re: breather filter mod
yea take off your tb and there is a little hole that you have to tap and put a plug in. You can see in the tb where the hole is by looking through the inlet. Graymans site has a walkthrough of itComment
