How does reburning the gases prevent buildup of sludge and help clean the engine? The article says that if the gases are not vented then the engine builds up moisture and other gases internally and causes the sludge and breakdown of the engine. The only reason it is vented through the PCV system is to recycle the gases and reduce emissions. Show me where it says anywhere that the PCV system does anything other than recycle gases that would otherwise be vented into the atmosphere and reduce emissions.
