Trick Oil filler and cap?

Grey Matter

AMC V8's Anybody have a trick oil filler and cap assembly? I need something that can contain engine oil in the event of a roll over. I have been running the car with a non vented cap and I think that it is contributing to a blow by issue that I am having out of the dipstick. At slow speeds I have no blowby trouble, only at sustained high speeds. Thanks GM

Thats a tuffy... I would run valve covers with baffles and get rid of the pvc system entirely.

Ya got any tick valve covers I could run to a breather box or something simular? I wonder if you could come up with a bitchen alumn. box that have the filter inverted so when the car was up side down the oil would not run out? I made something like that for the other fluids out of copper tubing but the vent lines are all 3/8. I'm thinking something like the breatherbox for a VW baja but upside down. Guess I will need to search the sand rail sites again. :lo1l:

MC do any of your valve covers offer a conection I can attatch a braided line to?

That looks good, can you offer that with an "AN" fitting or a threaded hole? If I install the breathers in the valve cover can I delete the PCV valve. I have no smog inspection issues.

Ya got that all blingy for us all show no go kinda guys? :wink:

What causes the high crankcase pressure? Is it wrong or normal? I rebuilt my 401 to run 6k RPM. When I run it that high it will blow the filler cap off and spew oil everywhere...

blow by past the rings is the major cause of it. The pistons pumping up and down is another part as it acts like an air pump in the crank case as well as the cylinders.
