Not normal. You are going to have to post some pictures or a diagram of how you have the PCV system set-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tat2Brat Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tat2Brat Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 is it driver side valve cover to pcv then pass. side cover to carb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sucker king Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Driver's side house that goes to air cleaner must be smaller diameter than hose from driver's side to pcv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 You can put a catch can in the line before the air filter if you have to. Is your motor high milage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrgrr Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 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. *(OT) Can I get a better look at that funky air cleaner?

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Señor Brat Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 re-do / check your pcv setup & hoses. thats likely the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tat2Brat Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 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?

the sucker king Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Pass head hose goes to air filter. Drivers side goes to pcv. Tee in a small breather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
