Your pcv is fine as long as you have a breather filter on the vavle cover, not still hooked up to the air intake tube. :P

wrong forum.

pcv can stay hooked up, just make sure it isnt seized up. Those things cost like $2.99

Some say leave it and some say to setup a can. It's really up to you I guess but I personally went with a can.

I would just put the breather filter on. What is the real purpose of an oil catch can? Blowby?
