    removing oil cap - no change - why?

    If the engine is running and I remove the oil filler cap on the rocker cover...there is no change...which is not what I'd expect. Does this suggest the PCV/vac circuit has a stuck valve or something???

    Thoughts on a postcard if you please

    Cheers

      Must be a day for oil related issues!

      If you put your (gloved) hand over the oil filler cap hole you should feel the pressure. IIRC

              Don't forget, you've still got a swirl pot to go on. It won't solve your issues but it'll look pimp

                          If there is no change you probably have vacuum leaks or your PCV system is blocked.
