Re: pcv
Same thing really. I like the 90's, but if I remember you can pop the plastic 90 off of your old one & there is a straight pvc valve under it. Snap it on your new one & away ya go...corn

Re: pcv
I have alot of oil in my hose wondering if I go up a little way then put an elbow in it if it will help.

Re: pcv
The 90 works better when you don't have the bent hose. Either one will work, though.

Re: pcv
I use the straight PCV's and just cut the hose longer to make up for not being molded 90 degrees. Works good and I don't have a problem with it pulling oil up the hose.

Re: pcv
you need a valve cover with baffles to keep the oil out of the hose
