Re: Let's talk PCV systems

Actually 19GMC63 and rickf, this is exactly the conversation I wanted to start!
It doesn't create an intake leak, because the cylinders and combustion chambers are seperated and seald from the crank case--the lifter valley, crank, cam and oil pan. The piston rings seal the cylinders from the bottom side, the heads from the top.

Have a lot of guys here gone with custom engines/systems (valve mounted in the valve cover, for instance), or have people gone with the original oil fill tube and stock location for the PCV valve?
