sub_dont_touch Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 In these photos where is the PCV Valve and what does it do? How do you know if it needs to be changed? http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/2059/ej18.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/5383/ej18b.jpg If someone could clearly explain or circle it in the picture.

ccrinc Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 If you're losing oil without any other good explanation. No leaks, no blowby, no seeps from valve covers. Emily http://www.ccrengines.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub_dont_touch Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 What does this do exactly? How does it affect the performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwbaru2 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 What does this do exactly? How does it affect the performance? Positive Crankcase Ventilation. It routes unburned gases from the crankcase into the intake manifold to be burned. If it hasn't been changed lately or when you take it out and shake it, it doesn't make noise like something is loose (the valve) then change it. Lose of power, rough running, oil in the airbox are all signs the PCV valve needs changing. These things are too cheap to keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO I just remove the bolt from the intake manifold? Or is it the pipe aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash321 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 remove rubber hose and take a wrench and simply unscrew it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 The "bolt" is the valve itself. You may need to soak the threads with some penetrating oil to loosen it. Then use a little anti-seize on the threads of the new one. The pipe is a rubber hose. Suggest you take it off and clean it out inside with brake or carburetor cleaner. Good luck!

sub_dont_touch Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 I took it out and it looks all black and greasy. The valve still rattles. Will just change it when I find somewhere that stocks them. ..Thanks for the help everyone.. just wondering what is the one next to the PCV http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y15...oy/ej18b-1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
