    There are 2 PCV hoses on top of your oil tank. If you have too much oil in the tank the vacuum from the engine can suck oil into those hoses and then into the intake tracks. Those hoses and the vacuum from the engine are there to vent oil vapors to the engine not too suck oil into the engine. I spent a couple of hours cleaning oil out of the intake air passages and PCV hoses. There could also be a possibility of ruining the wires in the airflow meters, those wires aren't going to react well to oil on them(IIRC they cost around a 1000.00 to replace w/new). That didn't happen here but it could have, it was just a matter time. Regards, Vern

    Speaking of that, why don't they use chains in the 348. Or has anyone made a kit to convert it to chains?
    :D :D
