To PCV Or Not ?
Guys I am trying to get a definitve answer on this ..do I install a PCV or not. I have done a search on this and have seen replies both yes and no.
I have a 351 built not a crate and also not radical. It has the ribbed Cobra aluminum valve covers with a Moroso breather on each side. Engine only has about 500 easy miles so far, (my job doesn't give me too much time to play with it at this time). I have noticed when it is idlleing that there is a little smoke coming from breathers but no misting or visible oil expelled.
Should I leave it as is till engine is broken in or put on a PCV. If I install a PCV should I put it in place of one of the breathers, I have seen breathers with PCV built in to it and connect to vaccum tube on carb base or just leave alone? I can't go to air cleaner, I have oval cleaner with thin element due to lack of hood clearance. Engine has Edelbrock Air Gap intake manifold and this limits hood clearance.
Need a little guidance guys.
