I am about to make a 5000 mile trip in a week or two. I have had blue smoke coming out of the exhaust for a long time. Either it's worn valve seals or PCV stuff obviously.
1. But is it a problem which will cause instant ka-boom within a few thousand miles or is it just a nuisance which I can 'cure' sooner or later if I prefer?
2. I am sure that my PCV system is toast but what happens if I plug the intake part of the PCV and redirect both hoses from the valve cover to a catch can, coca-cola can or anywhere else?
I just want to make sure the engine makes the 5K-mile trip and then I don't care.
