The baffle is still there and very visable thru the hole.
As I explained, my 216 has alot of blowby. I had the head rebuilt but not the bottomend of which I estmate has atleast 100k miles on it. The speedo was broken at 99459 miles and I've added 4k since. This no doubt contributes to increased blowby and oil suction through the PCV system. There was enough oil drainage from the draft tube after shutdown to warrant a drip pan.
The blowby has decreased alot with usage but theres still quite a bit. There is slight steam/smoke from the VC vent at idle, but nothing like it was when I 1st got it running. Same out of the road draft tube w/the PCV removed.
It'll be getting alot of road testing this weekend.
