I don't want to hijack the thread, but I'm wondering:
We filter the air coming into the carb with various methods (oil bath, which I have and like, wetted mesh, and paper). However, with a draft tube as standard on a 216, unfiltered air enters the overhead through slots in the valve/rocker cover.

PCV with filtered air inlet is one solution to this, but any thoughts on the original set-up? It's got to be detrimental to durability, particularly on the valvetrain.

Thanks,

Bill
