Thread: PCV Operation?

I got kinda a dumb question, how can you test to make sure the PCV works correctly on an L67? I used to kinda know, now I completely forgot. I'm used to just running VC breathers on old cars but i've always kept the PCV functioning on the GTPs because they seem to get flaky with breathers tuning wise.

I want to basically make sure my PCV works on my setup when I get it back running in a few days. I have an IC w/ custom cut OEM L32 lower gasket, and OEM L67 Upper w/ RTV on all for sides for perfect sealing. I just want to verify I did everything correct. I'm also installing a NEW PCV valve, new O-ring, and new PCV cover gasket.

Ridding my car of POS garlock gaskets FOREVER!

Thanks for any input...

i use to check mine by blowing threw them, if it opened and closed real smooth then you had no problem also check for build up, that is just my method i am sure there are other out there

I think your talking about the PCV valve itself correct? If so, i'm not asking about that, i'm asking about the PCV operation on the motor itself with everything hooked up. I want to make sure no pressure builds up behind the dipstick or what not.

If you are talking about what I'm asking, please explain further, its been a long day and i'm a little confused! LOL

Thanks man...

lol my bad man i was talking about the PVC Valve itself i'm not really to sure how to check the whole operation

TTT, no one knows??

This may be completely rediculous, but when I read this, the first thing I thought of was one of those small balloons you get for water balloons stretched over the dipstick tube. Start the car and if it is building any pressure, then the balloon is going to inflate. Maybe?

TTT?
