datzenmike Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 I hope that valve cover and block vent to the PCV valve isn't a closed system. The blow-by will pressurize the block and push your oil out through the Gaskets and seals. That a catch can? You only need that if racing on a track. The valve cover vent should be open behind the air filter so when blow-by exceeds what the PCV can absorb the fumes are sucked into the carb and burned. Hard to do with dual carbs so just run the hose down beside the block and fumes will blow under the truck. 1 Quote Link to comment
Diego'73_620 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Im not familiar with a closed system. However I did notice signs of oil coming out of the oil cap. And yes it is a catch can. All I've done to this truck is change the (croseta) Spanish for that part which holds the axle shafts together. Everything else came with the truck. The pcv hose runs under the truck. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Looks like all the hoses are connected together. The block vent pipe should go only to the PCV valve. At low speeds intake vacuum draws humid air and fumes from the engine. Fresh air is drawn in through the valve cover hose. This extends the oil change time and keeps the engine clean. At full throttle, blow by gasses are more than the PCV can handle and air flow reverses back out the valve cover hose. Normally this hose is between the carb and the air filter. At low speed filtered air is drawn into the engine. When the flow reverses it gets sucked into the carb. 1 Quote Link to comment
Dolomite Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Easy way to do a quick, meterless synch came from old British cars. Lift the front dashpot all the way up and adjust front carb till you get the highest stable engine speed, repeat with rear carb and thats it. Sounds like bullshit but it works, I don't use a meter or a hose anymore. I've had sss flatties on my ride for over a decade and never have to fuck with them other than checking dashpot oil maybe once a year, car runs tip top. 1 Quote Link to comment

So much easier than I thought it was. My 620 isn't reving high anymore. It feels smooth. Quote Link to comment
