any pcv service means cleaning the vacuum port on the intake. SHOULD already be clean.

the 85-88 b230s have softer blocks than the later ones. it's worse in turbos because of the extra pressure from the boost. i suspect the bores are worn too much, causing blowby. i would get a compression leakdown test down and see how much leakage there is past the rings. a compression test doesn't always expose blowby. good luck, chuck.
