Thanks!

So this is how bad my blow by problem is. My friend was behind me and there was a full course red flag so we all stopped on the side waiting for the emergency vehicle to come around. I was blipping my throttle because I noticed smoke every time I got on the gas and it started to look like my car was on fire from all the smoke. (My catch can was full at this point)



When the emergency/tow vehicles came around they actually thought my car was on fire and the reason for the red flag (when the red flag was actually because a GTR went into a wall).

Wow. Yeah let me know when you have some time and we can plan on doing tandem valve adjustments and compare the valve covers. Would be interesting to compare a brand new valve cover to see how it is sealed up. I can put you in contact with Mac and he can better explain the specifics.

I haven't done enough track days to give a thorough review but I'm sure it helps. The stickier rubber of RE71R's I'm sure don't help with filling the catch can either..
Just saw this. Looks like a relatively painless solution that has worked for many, and good method of doing it as well. Definitely a good idea to make sure the back side of the hole has been demurred and drilling holes large enough for a magnet to be passed through it.

Nothing new for the S2K as of late, but she did get a new stablemate. Still need to fix my valve cover issue. Having 2 trackable cars is going to be very nice though.

Really the only other car I would want to have in my garage besides an S2000.
