The purpose of the PCV is to recapture those vapors.
Why the engine works that way was explained in one of the catch can topics. I think it has to do with crank rotation direction?
By the way, how do people that have 8-stacks connect a PCV??? When I registered mine I thought CO was going to make me have one but they didn't and I didn't ask.

Then, if all that were true and were important and were related to crank rotation, why would Ford put it on the driver's side with the Bronco?  |
