    Oil Coming in thru Air Cleaner

    87 DX Carb 215k mi

    Basically here it is..
    I have a lot of oil coming through the PCV filter into the air cleaner. It then leaks out of the little drain hole in the bottom of the breather down onto parts of the motor. So much that it ruined my new alternator after 2 months.
    I just replaced my PCV valve about 2 months ago. I will replace the filter today, but I dont think it will help, because of so much oil coming through, it probrably wont be able to contain it.

    What is this an indication of? I did a search and some posts talk about rings?? What else could it be?
    THakns for any Help.

    Sounds like the to much blow-by from the rings which pushes oil into the PCV valve.

    well usually when you get oil coming out from the valve cover it is your PCV valve.
    I would check the valve again make sure it rattles.
    and check piston compression.

    Just dont run the hose to the intake. I got one of those mini air cleaner deals and put it on the hose. I'm talking the one from the air cleaner back to the valve cover. Its rings but I wouldnt worry about it.
