    Oh... and while I was in there I managed to tighten the WG just a hair. Can I tell you that VAGs placement of that damn thing is possibly the worst engineering feat... surpassing BMWs need to drop...

    Correct, keeps oil up top when off... but if it gets clogged or falls apart, it can block the oil to the head. I saw no auxiliary damage up there, so that is HIGHLY unlikely.

    I think I got most of the oil issues figured out from Alex's PCV plate modifications. I'm just left trying to figure out how you dumped the crankcase pressure.

    I think I can answer that.
