oil problem with 1994 toyota

[tota]

I posted some time ago with an oil problem with my toyota but I never reposted the fact that I had managed to solve the problem, For those that run into a similar problem, I solved it by drilling out the rivets in the baffles in the valve cover and cleaning out the sludge that had built up underneath them. I then drilled and tapped the valve covers and bolted the baffles back in and my problem was solved . The oil then quit being sucked out the pcv valve and fed back into the combustion chambers through the plennum. Hope this helps anybody with a similar problem.

DID YOU REPLACE YOUR PCV VALVE WITH A NEW ONE BEFORE YOU DID THE DRILLING THING?

Yes, if you can trace back to my original post, I think it was under oil sludge prolems with Toyota camry, you'll see that I spent a lot of time and money chasing down my problem. This included changing valve stem seals and several pcv valves amongst many other things.
