95' 850 pvc is done but I still have white smoke??

I have cleaned my new pvc twice over the weekend and I still have white white smoke coming from the dip stick. I don't know why any ideas would be great.

Probably worn valve stem seals at this point, then. Exhaust gases escape past the worn seals and are more than the PCV system can handle, even if it is clean.

Do you get a puff of blue smoke out the exhaust after idling for a while, or on first start-up?

A bit of a heated debate on THAT issue:

I AM GOING TO HAVE TO CHECK THAT OUT IN THE MORNING. Is this a big fix or a weekend job?

It's a biggie - but it could be done in a weekend.

Could also be worn rings, basically anything that allows excessive cumbustion gases to leak into the crankcase. There is only so much pressure the PCV system can handle before it's overpowered.

One question though, when you did the PCV, did you clear the holes in the block for the breather box? If they're clogged she won't breath at all.

The top hole never seemed blocked in the first place. The lower was the problem the first time I did and that's what I thought the problem was this past weekend I cleaned it not much there, pulled it apart again and cleaned it a third time then asked.

Can I get a write up of the valve stem job I may have in the future?

Oh and no blue smoke out the tail as far as I can tell.
