so i was looking at a new 86 with a 16 valve in it yesterday and it was all sweet except the bloke said that it was going through a bit of oil. he had a hose coming from the back of the cam cover with a one way pressure valve on the end that would vent once it reached a certain pressure.
i'v done a bit of research on the whole pcv thing and its still a bit cloudy. he said he would take it to a mechanic to have it looked at but i was just wondering if anyone thinks there may be an underlaying issue here. as far as im aware i could just fit in a catch can to take up the bad oil? or would it be a problem with the valve stem seals? btw he just spent $1200 on rebuilding the head.
an help would be great before i go further on this car
