How do you actually check a PCV valve?
I have a 418 SBF with a PCV setup on the passenger bank, piped into vacuum port of a MassFlow FI. Driver side has a typical small air filter canister. This is a big HP motor that is street driven only.
The PCV valve plugs into the valve cover and the hose runs off of it at a 90. Two things:
1. The valve seems to have no restriction, blowing through it either way. Problem or no?
2. Big oil consumption problem, maybe 1-2 quarts in 500 miles, but no sign of where it's going for that kind of use.
I'm wondering if a lot of oil vapor or droplets are being sucked out of the valve cover area into the intake. That little PCV valve sits right over a rocker on the Ford Racing cast covers, and I mean it's close!
Any ideas?
