It's stopped smoking, but I'll check it out tomorrow. If the PCV is questionable, I'll just replace it.
It's dang cold here now, 28 degrees!
Thanks for the response!
Dang cold!? I wish it was 28* here. Actually it warmed up today to about 25* Why the hell did I move to Nebraska.

Hey, my oil is foaming up also with this cold. I think it has something to do with the thick oil when started. I also used some cheap walmart oil last time and it seems to foam more. The shell rotella oil doesn't foam as bad.
If you could get your oil to heat up to just above boiling, you would boil out the water in it. Need oil temp gauge to check. Also. some mopar valve covers dont have good baffling. I think I may run an oil accumulater on my breather. A kit is sold through Summit for this.
Some thin oils entrain more air when cold. Some antifoam surfactants also encourage air entrainment. The key thing is to allow your engine to reach normal operating temperatures. This is part of why short trips are so hard on engines.

I donno about that. Last time I checked, the oil boffins at BITOG didn't think too highly of Rotella.

Can't think of any. Aftermarket valve covers, yes — the cheap chrome junk all over eBay, for example — but stock valve covers seem to have adequate baffling.

Why? What do you hope to accomplish? The breather is an oil separator.

There are Mopar valve covers that do not have good baffling. When I was first making parts for the 2.2 and 2.5 I was continually asked to make components that would improve this situation. Usually a solution could be found by using later parts so I did not pursue that. I know the 2.2 and 2.5 engines are not slant sixes.
