Re: More thoughts on excessive crankcase pressure 200 86

I'd check the flame arrestor/hose,too.I had some repair work done and I asked my Volvo mechanic why the valve cover gasket leaked after a new one was recently installed when I bought my '86 245.Turns out that the flame arrestor was clogged.He told me that when it clogs,pressure builds in the crankcase and it'll blow the seals and gaskets if you ignore it.The car had 175k on it at the time.No oil leaks at present.
