PCV mod
just thought id share this with you guys i i have my pcv system running through oi catch can to keep my intake clean of oil every week on average i accumale almost a tablespoon of oil!, this buildup of oil usually is what starts to make your car feel more and more sluggish, becase of the oil that accumales in the intake passages almost like smoking here are my pics feel free to hit me up if you have any questions
heres the first pic just showing the seperation of the two chambers i then tapped a hole and installed brass fittings to route to my catch can the PCV valve is mounted inline to the catch can to retain factory its original function
heres after a week of driving

Keeping the oil out of your intake is of no benefit whatsoever. In fact, It can have a lubrication benefit on the valves. The upper valve seals don't allow for much lubrication to the stems. Not to the point of failure, but you really need to look at what other VERY quick and powerful 3800'* have done before you.
The quickest 3800'* in the world don't mess with the PCV.

And the valve cover breather is strictly cosmetic unless you've lost your PCV through
other mods.
If you have that much oil soaking in your upper and lower intake, you have compression
issues.
Take a good look at the Top 25 Bonnevilles in north america on the list. Only 3 have no PCV.
Those are the 3 that are intercooled (going by memory here, it might be 4 now).

who sticks a pcv valve in the valve cover to be cosmetic? anyways compression has nothing to do with oil vapors from the PCV vlave accumalating on the upper and lower intake once again let other people make up their minds on hat they want to do with their own car
