Re: Kracka Vent help

Just test them yourself, you should be able to blow through and not suck back in from the big end, just using your mouth. If you can suck and blow (har har), it's broken/not working.

Maybe the kracka vents revealed some other problem like bad rings?

Well, I blew through it and it worked just as it should, sucked and it closed right away like it should, that rules out bad KV. Bad rings are very doubtful also, this motor is only about 4,000 miles old had a 1,500 mile break in, and almost everything was done by DB.

They did have a little bit of gunk in them, I had already tried that out before and the car went right back to smoking.
