Quick question about smoke testing

(1/1)

MKVASMR:
Hi guys. I wanted to ask you if it’s normal when performing a smoke test with the machine connected to the intake to have smoke buildup under the valve cover? I did it yesterday and there was a lot of smoke when I opened the oil fill cap.

GVK:
It will go through the pcv i expect  into the head.

MKVASMR:
So I’m guessing that’s normal. Next question. Where to hook up the smoker to test the vacuum lines. My brakes feel quite stiff although the car brakes ok.

GVK:
Never used a smoke tester myself but I would check you vac booster pipe that goes from vac pump on the end of the head to the servo, they're plastic and can snap.
