Default MSD 2 step w/o msd 6al... Smoking from Valve Breather??? help!

hello, I Have two questions.

Is there a way to rig up the msd 2step box w/o having to use the whole msd box?
Im sure there is a way but im not sure how.

2nd, I have this gsr motor... Put it into a friends hatch and its smoking out of the valve off the valve cover, that valve cover breather that vents back into the intake.
The guy that had the motor b4 put the motor upsidedown to install a new oil pan gasket.
Why would this be smoking so bad out of that breather?
I did check the crank case breather box, its dry. zero smoke out of the tail pipe, good compression. wtf? could somthing be missing on the underside of the valve cover? any ideas?

please don't use msd for 2step. the only thing it does is cut spark resulting in unburnt fuel flooding the cylinders and bogging at launch. also try a leak down test to back up the compression number to be sure.

Kinda want a 2step. I want an ignition cut , not the fuel cut.

the GSR motor is good im sure, zero oil buring, clean exhasut. its just smoking a **** ton out of that breather, dunno why.

How could that be bad? I've never heard of 2 steps hurting a car's suspension >.>

As for it smoking, are you talking about the PCV valve? Do you have it hooked up? The valve vents air and unburnt oil and stuff back through the intake to be burnt. Does it smoke constantly? How long did you run it for before you shut it off?

yea that about the suspension is bull. that dosent even make any sence.
same with that comment about 2 steps flooding a cylinder with fuel, not true. thats why you get black smoke, cuz its spitting out all that unburnt fuel.
a 2 step is not gonna hurt your car, make it bogg or flood.

cmon, nobody have ever had an issue like this?
Is it possible that a valve seal is bad?

Shaun, this is retarded
