In your house it wouldn't matter what was on it, there'd be too many children in the way to catch it on the way down before it hit the floor. ;)

And probably eat the buttered toast

Why don't we just plug the pcv value hose up the cat's ass and see how much crankcase pressure it takes to pop him.

Well, if you put butter on the floor it would be slippery and might cause an accident.. OSHA may show up and ruin all the fun. :( Heads up!


AND! Shizzles nizzles -I never get to clock out.

Just remember the pcv is in the "suck " side not the "blow" side

I suppose it is possible that the oil pump pressure relief valve could somehow get clogged and cause oil pressure to increase but NO, mine is fine. Oil pressure has never risen over 60-65ish and thats when cold or warmed and in throttle. Otherwise idling warm its 35-40ish
What about at road speeds? It shouldn't be much over about 45PSI.

So....My passenger rocker cover is sealed up tight. As in it has a push in oil cap and no venting to the air breather. Perhaps this is contributing to something as it has no way of pulling in air from the passenger cover like OE. Im gonna pull the cap and replace it with a breather/filter and see if that helps.
Hope you can solve the problem.

Well, after many replies I went with the pcv valve on driver's side valve cover.

Had to switch rubber grommets to get it to fit but, that ain't ****.

IMHO I think it depends on how thick the bread is and how old the cat is. It doesn't make sense that a young cat would have knowledge and skill to turn over if it had too big of slice of bread tied to it.If I know someone's going to argue it doesn't matter how thick the toast is.
Pretty sure the cat lands on it's feet regardless of age or where the bread is tied
