if you have breathers on both valvecovers I can't understand what your PCV is even doing in the first place

 

^ bc people dont understand how/what the PCV system does in the 1st place

 

Like me. So please if im doing something wrong tell me.

I'm guessing the filter on the PCV is pointless since there is no vacum source right?

 

Wouldn't drilling out the PCV valve just make the problem 10x worse + some?

 

post a picture of how everything is configured

 

Can't post a pic, but I can explain. I have a breather filter on the driver side valve cover. Also have a breather filter on the passenger side on the PCV. The plenum is capped off where the OEM hose from the PCV connected.

 

Why not just put everything back to stock? Is there a benefit to doing it this way? I haven't touched anything with my pcv system and the car runs fine, made good power, etc. I'm running a Vortech as well.

 

Well first off I have a CAI setup on my vortech, so I had to eliminate the hose that goes to the vortech filter from the driver side valve cover. Then I was getting oil in the plenum from the passenger side PCV. I know I could run a catch can, but I want to get rid of the clutter under the hood. Thats why I put a breather filter on the passenger side.

 

I have a CAI on mine as well, and a breather filter on the hose that originally went into the filter. Didn't know that's what we were talking about here though. Haha, don't mind me.

If it helps any, I have no problems with the way mine is. So if your issue is associated with that in any way, then the passenger side one would most likely be the culprit.

 

Unscrew the PCV, drill it out from behind using a drill bit that is small enough to fit inside the nipple. You should see a spring and a piece of white plastic fall out. Screw the PCV back on - now it is just a white nipple. Put the breather back on it. Leave the breather on the driver's side. If you find that still is insufficient, you can put breathers on the the two medial nipples that usually connect the two valve covers together via a hose. No need to drill new holes when you basically have 2 ports on each valve cover for venting gases. This is the simplest setup for venting crankcase pressure.

 

OK cool. I did not know that I could unscew the PCV. I thought that I had to remove the valve cover to drill it out. Thanks for pointing that out.
