What does it mean that my PVC doesn’t have a valve and just a tube? Am I supposed to use this valve and then block off the top tube connector? Does something else go there?

TY!

Well this is annoying
Brand new EGR leaking in the same way as before
My real issue is the lower intake PCV port. Is there a trick to stop vacuum leaks here? In some advertisements I see o-rings. Is there supposed to be o-rings here?

Double checking lower intake has the PCV baffle installed
Im reading that the ford intake is a tiny bit too big for the grommets now. Advice is to use teflon tape or black RTV
Im def getting oil on the inner portion on the silver portion of the valve. I imagine this is allowing the leak?
I use black RTV to seal the grommet to the lower intake, the valve should fit pretty snug, if you are sucking oil into the PVC valve I would check for excess blow by.
Start the engine, open the oil fill cap. Does smoke puff out? Hold your hand over the hole sealing it off, can you feel a little vacuum pull?
BTW can you take a vacuum reading?
Some have experienced oil splash at the back of the manifold/lifter valley area getting sucked up into the PVC screen/valve, the baffle in there is pretty small compared to later manifolds but I believe this issue was on drag/road race cars and possibly the use of high volume oil pumps.
For pics of the baffle difference check the last page or two of my 'slow-progress ' thread.
