Well, as of todayThe engine has 317,000 kms on it and finally seems to have some symptoms.
Today when I started it, I notice lots of fumes coming from the little filter off the catch can.
So I pulled the hoses from the valve cover breathers and there is a steady strong push of fumes coming from there, Its constant and it does fill the engine bay. I'm guessing the piston rings are bad.
Everything else seems fine as its always been, Like vacuum seats at -17, engine sounds like it always has and its driving like it always has with no issues other than the fumes from the valve covers. Going to the track this weekend, it'll be last one for me this season, better make it count I guess..
What are you toughs on this issue guys?
