A L 3 X Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Is there a way to do this and safely drive the car?As you can probably see from my wanted post mine broke into bits, so is there something I can do to safely bypass it temporarily?Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) yeah plug up the inlet manifold end of the pipe with a bolt or screw, then stick a odd piece of fuel pipe i say fuel pipe as its a good fit but whatever pipe will fit into the rocker cover where the pcv was, have it facing down in the engine bay so it vents the oil onto the road not all over your engine bay this will get you by temporarly till you can cough up the ridicouloious cost of another pcv valvejust so you know dont destroy the grommet left in the rocker cover as that is seperate from the pcv valve and will cost you more to replace Edited June 2, 2012 by russ78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Will this be safe though as I hear removing these Pcv valves is a lot more dangerous than people think as they do an important jobOr something?N ah shit I forgot about that, had to destroy it to get the valve out they both broke into like 8 pieces lol, I've asked iddy to order me both anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) this will be fine as a temporary fix till you get your new pcv valve,as for it not being safe many people gut the pcv valve and run direct to a catch can so you will be fine, i myself ran the car as normal without a pcv for over a week when my pcv valve fell to pieces as wellbear in mind race spec rocker covers dont even have a pcv valve !!
