    I see the benefit of the PCV system, but when I had mine hooked up like it is suppose to be I had smoke coming out the mufflers. The valve covers are baffled, I have a breather on the the drivers side and the valve on the other with a hose going to the back of the carb. When I removed the hose off the carb and plugged the carb the smoke stopped. This was taken during the cam break in run.

    Stephen,

    That kind of smoke is usually from a system with a bad PCV valve, one that is not sealing!

    A sign of a good racer! It's called bending the rules. He who bends the rules usually wins until they change the rules...then we have to bend them some more!
