Alright,
so my 52 8ba gets a decent amount of blow by out of the oil fill tube. I know the engine is worn. However, after a complete tune up, having Charlie redo my carb, and getting my plug gap correct, the car actually runs and starts really well for what it is - a worn 73 year old flathead. The blow by is making its way into the cabin of the car. I understand anything other than a 5-10k rebuild is a "bandaid." I'm not willing to put that kind of money into the car. I've heard some other guys with model A's etc, talk about a cap for the oil fill tube that can redirect the blow by under the car. Or, I've also had comments that installing a pcv could help. I want to enjoy driving the car and potentially be able to do so without having all of the windows down. I don't think the road draft tube is plugged because it does drip some oil out of there. Is there anything I can do to alleviate this? Thanks! Edit: I wanted to add that I took a CO detector with me on the last drive and it was in the safe zone. I was getting curious because I became light headed one of the last times I went out on a drive!
