if the baffle under the valve cover is there, there is really no reason oil should be splashing up and able to saturate that filter
So today I was able to take a look at the truck. I went out and took the filter off the valve cover and the unblocked the front hole (pcv?)
and turned the truck on. I felt a decent amount of pressure coming out. I read some other blow by threads, some in which you commented.
You mentioned that engines are just a compressor and are sealed. Maybe I just have a bad pcv or baffle? I don't want to misdiagnose the issue
and end up blowing the motor.
