Finally, no more smog checks on my car, finally I will rid my car of all that junk(smog crap). I 've been busy, but, what happened today gave me the willpower to engage this job ASAP! I have all the smog crap connected, even my Weber 32/36 without the Weber air filter, but with that cacerole of the stock air filter...(It is a genuine air filter by Datsun, no offense, but no place when performance and efficiency is sought)...on it, what an insult to the Weber carby! I have not been using my Datto too much this summer, using the jeep instead(hot weather, time for no doors cars!)...well, this morning, while starting my Datto, proud as I am about it, in front of some pedestrians, to my horror, I see a cloud of blue smoke comming out of the pipe, man!, I though, it can not be, this is not water vapor(as in a blown gasket)...never a problem , what is this about? turned the engine off, back on again, and the puff was gone. Drove the Datto, and, no problems, everything oK, what happened was that the car was parked in an incline, so the oil that enters the intake manifold via the PCV valve, which accumulates on the bottom of the manifold,after long time(not a lot, but there is some always) due to the inclination of the car, overnight, moved towards the front cylinder, so, at starting the engine, it got sucked into the combustion chamber, making all that scene, embarrasing, my powerfull Datsun puffing out smoke like a coffeepot. Never again. I already bought on my way home a Weber air filter, and later on will rid my car off all the unnecesary crap, including the PCV valve, both valve cover and engine exits will go into a breather box, with its own reservoir for blow by oil stuff. No more trash into my engine. Both hoses into a breather tank , breather tank has its air filter, so that clean air can go in, bad air can go out, and oil stays trapped in the box.
