will i have to get an oil catch can?

Replace the PCV valve. If you have a lot of blow-by (from worn rings) not much you can do about it.

Follow one ot the larger diameter hoses back from the side of the air cleaner to the PCV valve. It is a small cylinder with a hex head. It unscrews.

dose it screws in 2 the block?

No the PCV valve is on the back of the intake manifold. It will be angled towards the left side of the car and have a rubber hose coming off of it. If i remember correctly you will need a 17mm wrench to get it off (at least that was the size needed for my EA81 i believe).

I don't think you will find a PCV valve on your 1400 kiwi subbie! Australian models do not have them.

 

The only positive crankcase ventilation our EA63 engines have is the 2 rubber hoses that go from the valve covers to the air cleaner. There is no PCV valve in the intake manifold.

 

I should have added that I am assuming New Zealand engines will be the same as those in Australia.

um i cant find it lol. i can only find 2 hoses that go 2 air filter and go straight 2 rocker covers

ah hes aussie.

 

You might as well take a compression test and see how badly worn the eingine is.

What i did on one of my cars was to dump the 2 hoses into the chassis rails where the cross member bolts up, wont stop the oil from coming out of the motor but will stop the excess smoke and keeps the rails lubricated from rust.

whats do ya mean?

Stuck rings, not seating, leading to blowby & possibly the problem you've got.
