33 Rear Main Leak

[FlatheadTed]

I run that set up in one of my 34s late 35/36 block with early pan ,I don't see a problem with the vent its just immobilised, maybe more sludge .I have in it a late pump maybe 60PSI cold ,I intend to remove the pump or modify it to reduce pressure ,I seem to remember a Ford bulletin (v8 times )in 32 advising dealers to modify the relief valve to reduce oil consumption ,I was losing a lot of oil so removed the pan and found no tube and two more holes drilled in the bearing cap I plugged them up and fitted a tube that stopped the leak ,As said fit the tube straight down ( larger and low ) in the oil ,cannot see you pump but check it for excessive pressure .you may have excessive pressure at the main ,there is another way of dealing with it that requires a modification .Ted
