I would double check to make sure it was installed the correct way.
Page 12.16 and page 12.17 shows how to install the breather conponents the correct way.
Make sure the breather plate has the drain hole towards the bottom.
Thanks Merk ,
I was just assuming it was working as the smoke comes out of it .

I'm guessing this would be the first time in 38 years that it was serviced.. gotta get my work pants on> :>)


Matt,
Tried your suggestion setting seems to be OK,

I do since my old 52 chevy experience give mine a "drink of water" once in awhile, that does work!!
Softens the carbon by steam cleaning. no way to tell if it is all gone but seems to show improvement in the running power.

I have seen here thanks to these guys, the correct most sure way is to pull the head and wire brush it off. unlike an automobile they are simple to do .

For the price of a head gasket cant beat the cost either.
