well that will solve some of the symptoms, but not the root of the problem. if it's sooty/oily out the vent tube, its got blow by that needs to be addressed. you can try the leak down test, basically you pressurize the cylinders and listen for where the air is escaping. if it's whiseling out the intake, you have bad valves, out the valve cover, it's bad guides, out the crankcase, it's bad rings...
