Re:what to do about pcv valve from boost
um, the pcv valve prevents the boost from getting into the crankcase.
it gets its name due to the fact that it is a 1 way valve. it lets positive pressures out the crankcase, but it doesnt let them in. |
Re:what to do about pcv valve from boost
most people run them stock and then the pressure builds up then -> no more rings or something else will blow up. Typically on a n/a car a bad pcv valve will ---- your valve cover gasket or worse.

I had one of those until I used it to bleed brakes.. was fucked after that for most practical vacuum uses. Yeah man, don't be afraid of a little oil.. never hurt anyone

Re:what to do about pcv valve from boost
seriously man, take it out and blow and suck through it, air should pass through only one direction, if it doesn't pass through at all, it's time for a new one. they're only like 3 bucks.
