muss Member 40 Member For: 17y 2d Gender: Male Location: Townsville Posted 13/08/10 09:50 AM Author Share Posted 13/08/10 09:50 AM ahhhh... so could the fact that I found it out of the vent hole mean there is too much blow-by causing the pressure to be to much for it to handle and be forced out of its hole? would this tell me I have a busted ring or something of the sort?

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 25d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 13/08/10 11:58 PM Share Posted 13/08/10 11:58 PM The PCV is for emissions and allows the crankcase emissions to be recirculated back through the inlet manifold and it will burn up the nasties through combustion.The brake booster vacuum is taken from the inlet manifold, not the PCV.If you are popping the PCV valve it could be one of 3 things:1. the PCV seal is too lose2. The PCV is stuffed, as it is a one way valve and can get stuck or blocked3. There is excessive blow by causing too much pressure in the motor.The PCV should not be easy to remove as it is held in place by a tight rubber grommet.
