PV in Australia, and oil in throttle body.....

    Seasons greetings to you all,

    Two quick questions, does anyone know if the PV series were ever imported
    into Australia?

    Second question. Put in a new air filter for the 79 245 and I pulled off
    the hose from the filter box to the bottom of the throttle body. There was
    an amount of oil in the bottom of the throttle body. I checked the flame
    trap and it is not blocked. Does this mean stuffed rings? The beast has
    about 400K on it. It is also sometimes a pain when starting hot. A mate
    mentioned this could be rings and low compression.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks,

    Paul

    Sorry, another one.

    Why does my 84 240 have a restricted hose from the filter box to the
    throttle body? Would I be better off getting the older hose which is all
    the same diameter, or is there some advantage in this style of hose?

    Thanks again,

    Paul
