PVC's vs. Oil breather caps:
After putting on a WMS CAI & porting my intake, I decided I didn't want the oil/sludge buildup on my throttle body or in the intake. So i put in K&N breather caps. But now i have a good amount of oil that seeps out of the left side and i see they smoke quite a bit.

My question is; should i just run my PVC's again? Will the motor run smoother with them in place? Are there any reasons i should retain the breather caps instead???

thanks in advance for your opinions!

Do you have breathers on both sides?

I don't really know the answer to you question but I do know that its PCV, not PVC the pipe you are talking about. Positive Crankcase Ventilation.

heh... i dug this old thread up... does anyone know the answer? how can we remove this PCV -> intake but not spill oil?

can we route a line somewhere else w/ the breather on the end? i've heard you need some vacuum in the PCV system for it to work optimally. no hard evidence to support this though
