I have a 383 stroker with ATI Procharger and normally the vent from the passenger side valve cover and pcv hose would be routed right before the supercharger (by the air filter). I was having problem with it picking up oil and dumping it in the throttle body with this setup so I decided to route it to a catch can with a breather. I noticed that the line that comes from the passenger side valve cover is blowing out some smoke after 3-4 minutes after starting. Is this normal or do I have a bad valve or burnt piston? Any help would be appreciated.

i'd say that a little smoke is normal, just like leaving the oil cap off.. but if it's smoking really thick, then i'd start to worry. btw, i was wondering how i'm gonna keep the oil from my breathers off the shiny valve covers. catch can idea sounds cool! got any pics?

OrionSPL

no, don't have any pics of the catch can but i can sell it to u cheap. Like $30 I am going back to running the lines were they were.

just get me some pics, and does that include the hose and breather element too? if it looks good, consider it sold. gotta be show quality though, mine is well on the way to being a show truck and what did you use to connect the hose to the valve covers? i have the same exact ones. just a grommet and some clamps?

BTW, i'm giddy to get my motor in now after looking at those vids. thanks a lot were you spraying with the vette?

OrionSPL

No, no spray. It's a 383 stroker with an ATI procharger dynoing about 600rwhp.
