crankcase ventelation system 850

Hi, Symptoms sound similar to what I went through twice. I bought a '97 855na with 110K on it, and quickly had to do the main seal. It was done 'OK' by a knowledgable independent shop,($850) was redone a few months later by another shop. THEY REPLACED MORE PCV COMPONENTS. Just what all the parts are, I don't know, but more is more in this case. It was very close to the same price, because the trouble is in the labor. Find a shop that knows this problem. It is common and costly. Don't just do a flame trap and think that is it. This PCV problem is a constant concern with these models, the only problem is that no one ever tells you that. (except on this site) Otherwise they're the best cars.
'97 855na 146K aftermarket mods, and NYC dings
