looking at a 95 pickup - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

my friend is considering buying a 95 pickup with about 150k miles. It is a 4x4 and it has the 4 cylinder/5speed. It runs real hard and seems ok everywhere except for a crazy amount of air blowing out the oil filler in the valve cover. I know my toyotas don't do this and neither does my wifes beetle, but I am unfamiliar with nissans. I assume it is something like pcv or something simple because it runs too well for it to be rings, but i am unsure. idle is smooth and power is right on. any ideas?

the pcv valve is located on the manifold somewhere....well at least on the 6 cyls, and that is definitly not a stock piece....

not real sure what you mean by "definitely not a stock piece"

I don't remember any of my nissan's doing that.. but I never owned a KA24 motor..only a Z24. Assuming the mileage is really 150k and it runs good, it's probably something simple like a pcv valve.

Do feel air blowing out of it when the cap is on?
