Just Purchased a quickfuel carburetor that doesn't have an additional vacuum input for one. So I was thinking of getting rid of My PCV on my roush crate motor.

Would It be detrimental?

Thanks

I have a Keith Craft SB427 and it did not come with a PCV. I have since added one due to a couple of issues:

1. Engine oil mist leaking past the breathers was making a MESS of my engine compartment.
2. Using oil at the rate of a quart every 500 miles.

After adding a PCV valve (nice hidden one in a billet aluminum breather) both issues have been resolved. To obtain an additional vacuum port, just drill one of the bosses of your intake manifold or the base of the carb.
