PCV valve
ok, i took my intake manifold off yesterday to clean it up a bit, anyway i broke the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve. im thinking of running a stright line from the crankcase liquid-vapor seperator (breather chamber) directly to the intake until i get it fixed.. this would essentially bypass the PCV valve all together. does anyone know off hand if this would cause any problems?? the motor is a b16a
The breather camber will have "full" vacuum all the time, since the PCV valve controls the amount of vacuum. This may lead to an increased amounts of oil in the intake runners.
But if you want to do it, just get about a foot of 3/8" (I think that's the right size) tubing and a couple hose clamps. What are you gonna do about the air bypass to the intake if the PCV is gone though?
