Pcv woes m/e wagner

[Jasons69Chevelle]

Took my Chevelle out for a cruise this past weekend. Car has been running great. 0 oil consumption, catch can always empty. Got home and noticed it puffing smoke. Pulled the catch can and it was 90% full.
Done a oil change today and started the car up it smoked the neighborhood out. Scratched my head a bit and remembered I “adjusted” the m/e wagner pcv according to the instructions. Opened the catch can after I let it idle for 15 minutes 1/3 full. I emptied the can and left the pcv unhooked. Started engine and 0 smoke after 10 seconds. Closed the idle circuit (seated the idle screw) verified it was just a little sucky lol. (10 inches of vacuum) Hooked it back up and problem solved 15 minutes of idling 0 smoke, no oil in catch can.

Do the adjustable WG PCV's need to be cleaned from time to time?

Not sure but mine has less then 200 miles on it. I drove it without adjusting at first then read the instructions and said better do that.

When all else fails, read the instructions.

I'm guilty of not reading the instructions alot of the time.

I tell everyone that uses one to clean it every oil change.

Installed a breather setup through a catch can. Removed the pcv setup completely plugged the manifold port.. Don’t want to take any chances with that thing sucking oil again. Took car for a nice drive it’s back to running great and smoke free.
