Can anyone enlighten me on the PCV 'smokey dipstick' thing?
I gather its possible to bypass it and have a catch tank?
Would having the dipstick out a bit relieve any pressure?
Just curious at this stage not yet double checked the beast.
Cheers
Mark

have seen these bypassed with the catch tank usually on cars running big bhp,,if you do have the smokey dipstick check your crank shaft oil seal,,oil dripping from the bottom of the gear box which leads to clutch replacement ect to get it fixed,,will eventually cause serious damage ie>the big ends to go if left
