Yes it's an FE, a 1965 sideoiler and I am using Erson rockers in the MR heads.
Can't get in there to check the pressure at the line but the clear hose I am using (from the block plate on the intake to the
oil vapor canister) is discolored telling me I have something going through there. I also see vapor coming out of the upper driver side line (the line coming out the top of vapor canister and going back to the trans/differential).
I also see some vapor and
oil traveling out the canister and going back to the oil pan as designed, but not a lot. I see more water condensation in this line, but then again I am not on the road yet to allow the road draft tube assist with this either.
What is conserning me the most is the smoke I am getting sometimes when I start up (even after I just ran it minutes ago) and the oil I found around the spark plug threads when I checked the plugs.
I idle at right around 80lbs, shift around 100 and peg it when I really get into it.
