How many miles? Blow-by can get to the point that the OEM systems simply can't keep up with the volume/pressure in the crankcase that results. Trying to solve a "problem" like that by creating even more ventilation (hole in the oil cap) is akin to taking a Tylenol for a headache.....that's caused by a brain tumor. You may get some short term relief. But bigger problems loom.

So, the question is -- is the excess crankcase pressure the problem, or merely a symptom of another, larger problem?
