Default Re:smoke coming out of valve cover breather?

179 psi all across the board on mine...still green man...and to think...this motor is 14 years old...gotta love previous owners who dont blow ---- up for ya.

i found out what my problem was....my dumb *** had the PCV valve hooked up to the intake manifold....so i unhooked the hose and capped off the intake manifold...now its beautiful...no more smokey smoke and no more oil spewing all over my intake manifold and charge pipes...what it was doing was shoving all the boost pressure into my crank case via = PCV valve hose and it was shoving oil out of the valve cover breather hole and it was heating up the oil quikly causing it to smoke at idle....so problem solved...im making a homemade catch can setup out of a small folgers can and some hose with a filter...

love that ghetto style.
