May 13, 201411 yr Author well i just swapped it so I really didn't put that much thought into it. I have the passenger side valve cover hooked to the air filter on the weber the driver side has a pod filter on the valve cover and the pcv is just hanging out. Just went down to the parts store and got a new PCV gonna throw that on today
May 14, 201411 yr is it driver side valve cover to pcv then pass. side cover to carb? drivers side goes to a three way fitting with pcv and air cleaner, see in this pic, the air cleaner hose is much smaller diameter. pass side is just straight the air cleaner.
May 14, 201411 yr Driver's side house that goes to air cleaner must be smaller diameter than hose from driver's side to pcv
May 14, 201411 yr You can put a catch can in the line before the air filter if you have to. Is your motor high milage?

May 15, 201411 yr Author You can put a catch can in the line before the air filter if you have to. Is your motor high milage? Hard to say when i got it the guy said it had 150 thousand because the head blew on the original engine and he just swapped in a different ea81 the odometer reads 210 thousand so i dunno but its in pretty decent condition except the exhaust
May 16, 201411 yr GD has a good diagram somewhere on here. I mimicked it and havnt had an issue since.

May 19, 201411 yr Author so I got the appropriate pcv setup now but something seems strange I was kinda under the assumption that clean air goes in passenger side valve cover and gets the blow by gasses and out the drivers side cover to pcv When i disconnect the hoses off the valve covers both are blowing but shouldnt the passegner side be drawing air in?
May 19, 201411 yr it will only work right when it's all hooked up. you are right both sides will blow out when you pull both hoses. put it together and don't worry about it.
May 19, 201411 yr Pass head hose goes to air filter. Drivers side goes to pcv. Tee in a small breather.
May 21, 201411 yr Author http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag300/ironmaiden861/0520141746a_zps18a8b941.jpg Ahhhhh Will this work? 1/2 in. tube from air filter to pass. side valve cover 1/2 in. from driver side valve cover to pcv valve with 1/4 in. from that to pass. side Thinking i might have to go with 3/8 in. instead of 1/4
