    67 special 300 pushing oil out the breather

    hi every one
    forgive my ignorence,
    i work on subarus, but drive a 67 special sedan
    its got the 300/2bbl
    i did head gaskets and top end recently
    runs great, but lately its been pushing oil out the breather
    when im hotdoging around town
    only when im running her hard does it happen
    should i do a second line to the intake from this valve cover???
    should i be worried about the motor(runs great)
    just spent 1500 getting trans rebuilt
    dont want to throw a chevy 350 in my buick

    Being as you work on Subarus, you know that the problem is blowby and the engine needs a rebuild. The cheby suggestion doesn't make sense, because you would need a transmission too, and the cars value would dive, so yank the motor and do it...

    Irresponsible street hoodlum:
    Doctor, It hurts when I do this.
    Doctor:
    Well, don't do that!
    I'm not trying to be too judgmental here but if it's mostly happening when you are abusing your car then, quit abusing it! There is a good chance that if you drive it like a sane adult that the engine, even in it's weakened condition it will probably last quite awhile. Only 113k? With a lead footed punk driving it it's lucky for any car or engine to last that long. The only thing that makes less sense than abusing your only form of transportation is either of the engine swaps that you suggest.

    i dont belive that they were trying to be rude, i think that they are passionate about keeping these old buicks running and for a long time, and they hate to see them even slightly abused. just keep driving the car like an old lady to keep it alive, or pick up a new daily driver for like 500 bucks until you get the buick up again...

    Check PCv valve hose, it may be collapsed inside or pinched. I had a 300/4bbl in a sportwagon then put it in a chev van. When I sold it, it had 240,000 miles and used no oil. I beat the hell out of it too. Jim
