Well I went to change the PCV and found this:
From what little I know, I'd say piston rings have had it and there is a s*** load of blowby. Only thing I can think of.
A few questions; I'm trying to hold off the rebuild as long as possible, so a catch can will go on for now. Is it worth taking the rocker cover off to clean the crap out, or am I wasting my time? I'm not sure what time span was involved in this amount of build up so I don't know if it's one of those things that I clean and don't worry about it for another year or if it will be black again in a week.
As long as the PCV keeps doing its job and venting crankcase pressure, I should be alright? I don't believe there's anything super critical involved that could be damaged?
What are your thoughts?
Cheers,
Chang
