At that point, sludge is the main thing holding everything together. If you clean it away, you'll just leak more and might lose all your oil pressure.
So I got the "EnValve" last night and installed it. I will post pictures once I get a good highway drive in and make sure it works as it claims. First off, the man that invented it is now a kind 70 year old man with cancer in remission and sells these out of his home. I guess he's been selling it for over 10 years and not one has been returned. My XJ has an 8" lift and is on 37's. He tried to look at the motor and had to get a chair to stand on to see stuff. He wanted to do everythinkg to get it installed before I left. He immediatly said; "Ah, crap! You got one of those systems without a PCV and was a stupid design to begin with." Then he said; "Over the years I've seen a few Jeep where guys actually made a bottle to collect the oil and dump it back in. That's the second dumbest thing I've ever seen." I was laughing pretty hard (not to offend anyone, I was just about to do it too). Anyways...he tried to help me get it all installed, but I needed a 3/8" vacuum/fuel line and 3/8" tee to get it all together and he didn't have that stuff. So on my way home I pick up the needed items and installed it. My first obsevation was I had A LOT more vacuum when removing the oil filler cap. I can hear and feel the vacuum being created by the valve. I never had that before. With installing of the valve you eliminate the breather line to the air box so no more oil in the filter. Saturday I'm going on a long highway road trip and see how it works. I will post up my results with pictures. So far it looks promising. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If this works all you guys with a catch bottle can get rid of all that.
IT CAN'T BE!!! I just replaced my motor 1.5 years ago with a used pulled motor about a year ago for the same reason. I was told the compression #'s were 140+/- on all cylinders. I'm worried that it might be true. I think I'm going to need to get a remanufactured motor. I'm running 4.88's and at highway speeds the rpm's are about 2.5k to 2.75k. My speed is about 65 -70mph. and I top out about there. I guess the used motor is tired and can't maintain that rpm for that length of time???
Check your CCV system or Lines again. If it is a renix. Jeep will replace all these lines for $80.00. If it is not a renix (92 and newer) check the PCV Valve and hoses. After time buildup can get in the lines and create a restriction in the positive crankcase pressure, creating too much and it blows into your airfilter. That is if the rings are good. If you have a minimum of 98lbs per cylinder, this is not the problem and go back to the PCV or CCV system. The only diff between the two is the CCV is a metered system and the PCV is not. ASE Tech and master certified.
Yea, I think I suggested that at the beginning.maybe i missed reading this, but cant you take the renix valve cover off and cut the ccv towers down so they dont reach so far down on the head?
sorry, i was too lazy to read back that far.Yea, I think I suggested that at the beginning.
Have you tried flushing the engine with ATF? This summer I put 5 qts of ATF in the engine and drove normal for about 3 days, before changing back to 10w30. When I changed the oil I had a lot of crap come out with the atf.

I have replaced the entire CCV system including the CCV gromet. Actually it was the "Renix Expert" at the Jeep dealer that did it. The week after it was replaced I did a test run...puked oil. As I had previously stated I have checked my CCV gromet regularly to ensure it wasn't clogged. All the vacuum lines are clean. I've been struggling with this issue for about 2 -3 years. The compression on all cylinders is around 120. I couldn't figure it out. Compression is good, an entire new vaccum system venting VC area done, still puking oil. I got tired of it so when I saw the EnValve and found it was $40 and he'd give me my money back if I wasn't happy, I decided what the heck. Like I said in my past post, I now have vacuum in the VC area, which I never had before. Now there's now way oil can get in the air box and if you look at most VC's there is oil seeping from the VC cap, breather line and CCV gromet. Since I've installed the valve all those locations are oil free. Hopefully the VC will stay clean too. So far this is looking promising. I just re-read my post and is sounds a little commercial-ish. Sorry if it does. I'm just a little excited about this working for me.
