Answer these questions please:

(1) It's seems to me that the pressure build up from the top of the engine would be routed down by the hose that going down in between the intake manifold to the oil separator box that once the vapor enters the oil separator box that in fact the oil separates out of ...

The engine bay is clean because I've had to pressure wash it several times due to oil spraying all over:)

Snorkel 1.0:
-Ideally the pipe is at a slight angle so the oil that does build up will drain backwards from the last 90 degree elbow in the hose, plus I'm hoping that breather filter stops the ...

You are right precopster...the numbers didn't change much by taking all of the spark plugs out.

The car runs and drives fine, but like you say, maybe I'm just used to it?

I ended up releasing the pressure build up with a snorkel off the oil filler cap and a vent tube off of the dipstick tube as ...

Thanks for your response Lee...after thinking about it, I believe I did the compression test wrong, so those numbers are probably too low. By not taking out all the spark plugs in the begining, the cylinder I was testing would not read the correct pressure because the crankshaft is not freely ...

The weather was finally warm enough for me to do a compression test...here are the numbers:
From passenger side --> drive side(cylinder 1->5): 103-90-95-94-106psi

Do the numbers indicate that the rings are not providing a tight enough seal, allowing for a large blow up of pressure? Essential, do ...

Thanks for the responses.
Ozark Lee - I've not checked the compression, I suppose I should. I'll just have to figure out where to rent/buy/borrow a compression tester. I just figured if the blow by was that bad that it still blew my dipstick out with a modified PCV system with nearly an inch hose ...

I need some help. I've had smoke coming from my dipstick tube and oil filler hole, enough to blow my dipstick out and inflate a rubber glove over the oil filler hole. I'm trying to be pro-active and get my positive crankcase ventilation right so that I don't put too much pressure on other seals. So ...

I'm at my wits end trying to install front fog light in my 1996 Volvo 850 GLT that is pre-wired for the front fog lights. So I went to the salvage yard and picked up a front fog light switch pn:9128536, a light relay pn:9148880, a plug with fog light pn:9148991, and a "J" relay pn:9130269. I plugged ...

No I do not have my high beam head lights on.

Here is what I know:
1) It is pre-wired; the switch plugged into a yellow receptacle that was there behind the blank in the dash and there are plugs for fog light on each side near the bumper
2) I thought I needed to change the "Light Control Relay" from part number:35 23 200 to part number:91 48 ...
