OK, Pulled PCV Screen..Tell Me What You Think

92GreenGT · Aug 14, 2004

Hey guys, I finally got behind the intake and pulled the PCV Screen, when I pulled the rubber hose off. There was no PCV valve to be found, so I went ahead and pulled the screen. I wiped it off with a rag as you can see in the pic, but it had a ton of oil in it. I also used the air compressor to blow it out and a lot of oil came out of it. When I put the air to it I couldnt feel the air on either side. There was a lot of oil comming out behind the intake, was this the culprit? So im going to buy a new screen, gromet, and Turbocoupe PCV valve. Also going to buy a check valve for it. Tell me what you think, aslo I want to know if you feel this was the reason oil was comming out back there. Thanks

I used a screw to get it out, came out pretty effortlessly. This is the first time ive had it out since ive owned the car in 98.

I found the PCV valve and gromet (im guessing) it must of fell out when I pulled up on the hose. Let me know what you guys think.

Your guess is right!

Thats good, glad I didnt pull something I wasnt supposed to by some wild chance of luck(my luck sucks btw)

But do you all believe this was the problem for all the oil comming out back thier? I really want to get it fixed becuase it scares me.

Thanks,
Dave

The only obvious things I can think of for the oil leak on the back intake is either fromt that (grommet, valve, screen set) or the back (where the lower intake meets the block) is leaking??? I'm sure you have already but you might try to get a flashlight in there and see if you can pin point where it is coming from...

Try the "set" and see if that fixes it...if not...it could be a bit more serious or easier...when are you going to get the grommet, valve, and screen set on? I swear me and you work alike...today or tomorrow I'm ordering a new screen, grommet and pcv valve from 50resto...lol...and oh yeah...also check your hose and see if it isn't cracked or something...not likely but it won't hurt to check...

clogged pcv valve will cause oil to be spit back up into the intake/air box see it happen all the time just replace it..................no big deal at all. lol some of you guys on here crack me up.........

p.s. Dave killer bowl packing job you got there..............!!!! care to pass?

Your car running weird w/ the PCV like that? The 89 Chevy I used to have ran like crap until we replaced the PCV 'n' stuff It would stumble off the line, etc.

Wow, this thread is back from the dead.

Anyways, I had this old fram PCV valve laying around, so I put it in and didnt put in a screen. Cured the smoke comming from the breather, and plus I think the oil is gone. Ive been told its ok to run without a screen, but I bought a screen to put in, if anything bad happens. But I tried it and its working good so far. But im still going to buy a TurboCoupe PCV, and a check valve.

PUT THE SCREEN IN THE INTAKE, No reason for the check valve, and the normal PCV valve should work fine.

What happens if I dont put the screen in? Just wondering, but I do have one, all I got to do is pull up the PCV and slide it under.

Glad to see your still alive, havent heard from you in a long time.

The screen will keep particles from clogging your PCV casuing it to stay open or closed.
I wonder if that screen will slow down crankcase pressures (before entering the PVC) so that they will not pop the PVC out of the grommet?

Isnt the pcv valve a check valve anyways? Just wondering
