[Bernie Benz]

Crankcase emissions, blowby and oil vapor, under open throttle conditions
are conducted to and mixed with intake air between the MAS and throttle.
These emissions are maximum under full throttle conditions, and are
aggervated by crank churned oil aerosol from an over filled sump in an
uphill, right hand turn.  Upon sudden throttle closure, the momentum of
incoming air causes an oscilation, a compression and expansion, of the
incoming air against the closed throttle, causing momentary reverse air flow
through the MAS and intake system.  The entrained emissions can thus
contaminate both the MAS and the dry type air filter.
