RE: IML: Montana car show, blowby issue

Do you get suction at the end of the hose attached to the PCV valve?

It can also plug up in the carb where that hose attaches.

 

If you have good suction and a good PCV valve and still have lots of blow by, as Dave says in his post, you should probably check the condition of the engine.

Fred:  Thanks for responding. We have put a new PCV in, but I appreciate the tip.

Does your car have a PCV valve? Can you add one?

I purchased a 66 Newport which had a lot of "blow by" and simply cleaning the PCV valve fixed the problem.

OK, this is not a cure, and I highly recommend what you do not want to hear. Their is a temporary get me by can of something to help some with your blowby issue. RESTORE. It is available, most likely, a Pep Boys type of store and maybe a Napa store. I have used it to help out a temp situation before and it did slow up oil consumption and some sort of blowby. Change the oil when adding the can. It should be used to replace in volumn, the same amount of oil. It fills in in a sort of way, scratches in the cylinder walls. Again, only temporary and it seems to last between 1,000 to about 1,500 miles for me and might also depend on how many or how deep your existing current scratches or scrapes are.

Hi all!

We attended a small town car show today in Livingston, Montana.  About 100

cars but only 2 Mopars?one a Valiant and the other a cherry late forties

Chrysler Town and County Woody Convertible. I had never seen one of those.

The star of the show was a 1903 2 cylinder, 8 hp. fully restored HAASE. It

was Livingston's 'first' car!

 My 62 Imperial didn?t get to the show as it is getting a face-lift and

make-over.  With luck it may debut in August.  There are still lots of

details needing attention, the most serious of which is it's serious

?blow-by?. It is such a fumer (not raw gas) that it isn?t at all pleasant

for long drives. Any ideas out there on what causes this? My stomach gets

sort of queasy even 'thinking' about having to endure the fumes.

 Many of you online folks have been so helpful and Jim Lorenzen has been a

jewel indeed.  We are currently busy exchanging parts and his tips have

been truly helpful.

Many other makes of cars have magazines...is there any Chrysler/Imperial

publication?
