Thought I'd update as I've had to modify the PCV setup.
Theres so much oil misting going on in the crankcase that the manifold was sucking so much oil that it was dripping out from around the manifold vaccum fitting after shutdown. I could literaly pour some drops out of the vaccum line. The oily film that normally collected at the tailpipe quadrupled.
Oddly the engine still ran great and didn't smoke but since I already loose enough oil to leaks, I didn't want or need another source that'll rob that Texas Tea...
I hated to do it but I needed to extend the PCV valve out further from the crankcase and implement some kind of oil/blowby separator and I couldn't think of a better device that I had on hand than the stock road draft tube assembly I had removed. So I cut off the down tube portion approx 1.5" from the main body, glued a rubber grommet in the hole and mounted the PCV valve there.
This seems to work pretty good but I haven't gone on an extended cruise yet.
Also, I tried another larger PCV valve just for GP and it didn't work out. End's up for the PCV valve to work properly on these stovebolts they have to have "some" built in restriction to vaccum flow. The larger PCV valve sucked so much vaccum that it acted like there was no valve at all. The engine would idle just as if the manifold vaccum port was unplugged and there wasn't enough vaccum to work the wipers. The smaller PCV valve thats been spec'ed in this thread seems to work out fine. Just an FYI to others that may try this.
