Finally got the engine to idle below 750 rpm, changed the PCV to the one thats recommended, V-237, now is idling at about 500rpm. When I removed the one I had install, about 16 inches from the crankcase it was all oily, sucking to much vac. 53 3100 root

It matters doesn't it? If the PCV is robbing too much vac at idle, it changes everything. For the V-237, out of the 20 inches on the compression gauge, you are only stealing 1 inch and it maintains positive ventilation throughout the spectrum.
