I know that part of the problem is with the PCV system. My uneasiness
with that part of the fix is just that it seems like added complexity-
trying to prevent condensation of vapors is well and good, but too MUCH
heat in the PCV system is just going to carbonize the vapors too. It
seems like trying to ride the razor's edge, but maybe simply regulating
the PCV temp to coolant temp (which is, after all, locked at 195 or
thereabouts) is good enough.
