Smoke on the race track
Hi Everyone,
I am currently running an open PCV system. Breathers on both PCV valves and high temp silicone plugs on the ports of the valve cover and intake tube. Now the issue:
When I near 5k+ RPM in 4th and 5th gear on the race track, I start to smoke a good amount. This only happens in gears 4 & 5 as I near redline.
Anyone have any input to what is going on here? I do overfill a bit since I have a larger oil pan, but this happens even as my oil levels drop a bit. The flaggers black flag me once in a while which can throw off the flow of my session

Are we talking about during a corner load or not ?

More profound during high speed corner load (>100mph like turn 7 & 8 and Willow Springs International).
It wasn't smoking to much this past weekend and is dripping oil down my driver side, where I have the rear PCV valve hose with breather routed to.
