<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I checked it not long ago and at idle I can see the
plastic disc is very close to closed and if I bring up the idle just a bit it
opens some , bring up the RPM more and it opens more. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I ask because it seems to leak oil and mostly
on the left side . I don't see oil at the cooler seals and I did clean the
cooler well before the rebuild in 97 and didn't see any cooler leaks . I also
made certain the two relief valves were not stuck and never over filled the oil
. I see oil on both sides mostly on the lower shields between the case and heat
exchangers and a bit on a few push rod seals . On the left I see it on the large
cooling shields that fit around the cylinders to the block . It's not pouring
out just drips here and there . I cannot find a PCV valve on earth and do not
know of one that would even work if that is even the problem. I imagine just the
fan alone blows any oil everywhere plus the torque convertor blades.
