Default Completely dumbfounded on y8 to y7 im swap!

ok we put it on and we have a few questions...1. there is the top most nipple on the front of the manifold on the plenium, i heard it goes to the pcv valve...the pcv valve is shaped like an L, so one hole goes there, then where does the other hole lead? also, from the old y7, there was a black cylinder on the left side of the manifold, it has 2 nipples, we figure one end of the pcv goes into the one hole...but then where does the other hole lead to

we are having crazy vac leaks up to 3000 rpm and we seem to have a coolant leak even tho every coolant line that we checked was dry...not sure

argh, can someonehelp, id post pictures but i cant find the wire to upload them!

if your idle is bouncing then its most likely your pcv valve or your leak is soo huge its doing that. spray some carb cleaner all around your y8 im to indicate wheres it leaking from.

ya for hte first time we started it up i forgot to stick the pcv valve int othe box, anyways, i bought a brand new pcv valve the old one no longer rattled when shooken, anyways stuck that in, car sounds like a jet engine tho because it is sucking thru the tiniest crack between the im and head, but im gona take the head off tommorrow scrape all gasket off and then cover everything in rtv gasket, can i get away with doing that or should i get a brand new gasket i have no car to go to the honda dealership!

update, well i took everything apart this morning and i scraped all the old **** off and put rtv sealant again and sealed everything up, started her up ran perfect, if u guys have any questions feeel free to ask

quick tip !

no u dont have to extend any wires just snip a bit of wire loom away so the wires can spread out a bit and they will all reach where they are intended for!

and dont forget that pcv valve! it caused us to have to take everything apart again to access it!

so you're using rtv sealant instead of a gasket?
