I have an 89 5.7L TPI... I noticed something the other day, smoke will come out of my PCV grommet if I pull the vaqlve out, not a little bit, like normal, but not alot either, just more than average. Its worrying me... what can I do to figure it out and fix it??? Thanks... Any questions, just ask.

Oil level low
Engine temperature high
Too much blowby

Pick one.

Its probably fine.

 

Ummm.... about that engine temp thing... my car is forever sitting at 220*.... and the blowby, if that IS it, I would assume there is no way to fix it except for a rebuild, right???
Thanks

See whether your engine fan is coming on properly. Sometimes they burn out or the wire frays or ...

I would take it in and get an engine coolant flush done, just in case some of the passages are corroded up.

If all that is fine, then get an extra fan put on the rad, maybe on the front this time, and have it wired to kick in with the other one. This should fix the problem.

The temp still doesn't explain why this much exhaust gas is getting into my crankcase, and pressurizing it!!! Please help!
