Hi there,
Looking at other posts and pics of car engine bays I noticed the arrangement for engine ventilation appears quite different.
Most cars look something like this:
ith the PCV just in front of the carburetor.
Looking at the components diagrams it appears that the blowby gases are drawn out via the oil separator through the PCV and into the inlet manifold.
The arrangement on my car is as below.
The port on the inlet manifold is plugged off. While the output from the oil separator is connected to via a hose to a copper tube dangling down to the underside of the car. I can see that when the car is driving fast there might be some draw through that hose - but not like the airflow at the manifold.
Question:should the PCV also be connected to the valve cover? Or is there another ventilation to the valve cover?
Regards
Paddy
