Uhh, what point did I miss smartass? The one where you said put vacuum on the crankcase and the fact that there's only two ways to do that, all of which kinda have their sucky?

There are 3 ways to do it, if you want to get technical....or 4 for you.

One could add a small electric vacuum pump to the system which would pull vacuum on the crankcase without adding it back into the intake. But this can get messy/complicated for a street car.

Of the 4th way, for you, could be to connected it to a mask to wear over your face and suck in the fumes manually. Your boyfriend will appreciate your newfound lung capacity and ability to create a low pressure sensation deep within his *****. Not to mention the chemicals might put some sense back in your head.

BTW...being a smartass is better than being a dumbass.

Okay ladies come down. I just opened the engine, both camshafts seals seam to be leaking and there is a puddle of oil on the main front seal. See pictures

Passenger



Driver



Main front








On another note, Min the reason why I don't bang that anymore is because I upgraded big time




I'm going to install the seals now
