Polyvinylchloride
Nah, it's PCV. It stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation. Just lets the pressure out of the crank case basically... |

Nothing to do with pcv vales but twr7cx have you ever used polyglaze tyre foam? It'll take the white off the rubber intake snorkel

My PCV valve seized and caused too much pressure in the motor, ended up blowing ou thte rear engine seal. i just pulled up in teh gargae one night and by the time i got out of the car there was over 1l of oil on teh ground, $600 worth of repairs for some s**t little valve.

Bogan: interesting, every time I've seen a PCV valve get stuck, it blows out the dipstick and sprays oil out of it.
So the PCV valve, the cause of it s**t itself is because the excessive pressure in the intake manifold as the flame front rushes back from the combustion chamber, the wrong way, pushing the PCV guts into the motor? I had a trick on my old RB30 powered Skyline that was on LPG as well that I drilled many 13mm holes in the intake pipe just before the throttle body and put a piece of wetsuit around the pipe to seal it - this engine wasn't turbocharged so it was always at or just below atmospheric pressure unless the engine backfired in which case it would split the scuba seal and much of the pressure from the flame front would exit out of all the holes, saving the AFM and airbox from destruction. Problem with the Ford is there's nowhere to put the bloody thing. |

you must have a lot of blow by to do that, your rings/bores must have been stuffed |

Problem with the Ford is there's nowhere to put the bloody thing. nice trick with the wetsuit rubber and yes a similar trick can be done for the falcons, scott showed me how to protect my manifold from getting blown up from an lpg backfire, you drill a 2in hole in the top of the inlet manifold, where it's flat just before where it clamps onto the throttlebody,mixer section, you cut out a 3in disc of rubber and use a couple of self tappers to hold it onto the manifold, backfire happens, rubber disc lifts up and pressure goes out the 2in hole, then when the engines runs properly again the inlet suction seals the rubber disc to the manifold, simple |

pcv valve ventilates the crankcase, all the gases produced inside the engine, including blow by gases and fumes etc from the engine oil, get sucked into the inlet manifold, it's part of the anti-pollution stuff
some of us older fellas would have had cars that didn't have pcvs, like my 1st car, an eh holden, instead there was a metal pipe that came out of the rocker cover and went down the side of the engine, fumes used to come out of this, was an easy way to tell a worn engine if you could see smoke coming out of the pipe, you knew the rings/bores were stuffed |

Don't they also put oil caps on which are like a big filter. |
