The most likely place to clog is inside the tower, up at the top. There's a reed valve up there than shuts when there's more than a certain amount of vacuum in the intake plenum. Given that crankcase ventilation is shut off at high vacuum, when you're pouring on the full awesome power of that 2.1, that's the most likely time to see crankcase pressure. Might want to check your compression. It's not shooting the stick out, so there'sobviously not a BIG crankcase pressure problem. -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Lastwagen" '90 Vanagon GL - "Wiesel" |
