Hi all,

Just wondering if it's possible to stick on on oil breather instead of the PCV on the valve cover anymore or will this plan really screw things up with modern, computer-controlled motors?

Any experieinces or ideas?
 






As long as you plug the vacuum it should not bother the computer, BUT how are you going to get the gas out of the crankcase??? It is best to leave the pcv setup alone..By removing it you are asking for accessive sludge and pressure build up in your engine valley and crankcase, which in turn leads to poor oil return...
 






Oil breather

Thanks for the info. I will leave the system alone as per your advice. Actually, I didn't even know what putting a breather on would do for me anyway.
