[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 16284447, member: 184279"] About 10 years ago, I replaced an Eaton roots style supercharger on a Pontiac Bonneveille SSei that I owned. The job itself was fairly straightforward, I didn't see how I could possibly mess anything up. Well, I had used a fair bit of gasket sealant to make damn sure there wouldn't be any leaks of air or coolant, and I inadvertently used too much around the PCV outlet area, where it ended up plugging the PCV system. The engine responded by making these loud and regular chirping noises as the internal pressure kept trying to vent its way out. I finally figured out the mistake when I noticed the dipstick protruding out a few inches and I deduced that the PCV system was somehow plugged, so I took the S/C off and immediately saw the problem. I only mention this because you say you had your S/C off and perhaps you somehow caused a restriction in the PCV flow, which is forcing the engine internal pressure to purge out wherever it can, taking the path of least resistance, which would be the catch can line. Anyway, just a thought. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
