Lose the PCV valve; it's not doing anything but constipating the crankcase. You're not set up (anymore) to utilize a PCV valve, and if you're not running a breather box arrangement, than THAT'S your problem. I'm sure your VW "mechanic" knew that, right? One hose to each head vent tube, and one hose to the aforementioned "REMOVED" PCV port (for oil drain back). Do NOT use the plastic-crap hose you receive with the unit; it's garbage and it cracks IMMEDIATELY. The box internally vents to atmosphere (ahh, shucks), which means you'll have a trail of enviro-nazis chasing you around town. The price you pay for going to carbs. And you thought carbs could fix anything. |
