Re: how Important is This?

My truck has one and a PVC valve on the other valve cover. I just left it in place and put a chrome 14" open air filter on mine. Lots of clearance under the hood.

So the open element Air Cleaner can sit a top the air spacer like the stock air cleaner, then I can just leave things the way they are. Never thought of that. I want to put the Edelbrock Elite Valve Covers ( to match the air cleaner) on too but have to check and make sure there are enough holes for the PCV Valve, oil fill and the air space breather in them.

I'm pretty sure your truck will explode if you don't have that!


Seriously though, it's not necessary in that configuration, but your truck needs pcv in some form.

Does it need a PCV on both valve covers because there is a PCV on the drivers side.
