No blow by , no
oil in the pcv, im hoping its the intake manifold and the then valve stem seals, if it is the valve stem seals can they be repplaced without pulling the heads off? , it would cost me more to pay my mechanic to pull the engine out and then send back for warranty, its not worth it , i'm better off just fixing here, i am going to speek to marty from FRPP on monday to see what we need to do but in the mean time i'm going to get my mechanic to do a leak down test after he has looked down the manifold.
I really appreciate your help guys, if any one else has had any issues like this or know anyone please post up, i looked at the date of that link and its around the same time my engine was built, hope there wasn't a bad batch of valve stem seals, i saved $3500 buying direct from the usa with the strong aussie dollar at the time compared to buying here and that was with the cost of getting it shipped here aswell, oh yes i did retain the rocker covers that came with the engine nothing was changed apart from adding the march serpentine pulley set and fitting the super victor using the gaskets supplied with the motor, and my mechanic is a fully qualified mechanic with years of expieriance in building and installing high hp engines.
cheers chris.
