Title: PCV Valve?
Post by: jheiv on November 10, 2003, 10:01:33 PM
I just did the cone air filter mod, where you just stick the filter to the turbo, and now I was stuck with the little hole on the top of the crank case.  So i looked at the hose from my air box into my crankcase.  NO PCV VALVE.  I double checked, blew threw both ends, no resistance either way.  Is this right?  I ended up just sticking a little filter on top of my crankcase, but I'm curious because I found a listing for a PCV Valve.  Any Ideas? :?

Thanks

The PCV valve is on the back of the motor.  Most people w/ the cone filter are just using a filter in place of the tube.

The one you are talking about is just the breather hole/tube. The pcv valve is a lot harder to get to :shock:  Its right in the middle of the valve cover right up against the firewall.

On a TGP the PCV is hidden on the rear bank valve cover. I have seen them in two different configurations on the TGP. My old TGP (1990) was from the bottom of the upper intake plenum to the rear bank valve cover. On TWalts TGP (1989) there was a metal tube from the lower intake to a rubber flex line that then had the PCV in the rear bank valve cover... 8)
