matthew ep91 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I have steam coming from the rocker cover and my pcv valve. The pcv is vented to atmosphere . Is this normal ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Not normal for it to steam or smoke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 definately not.do a compression test and it will give u answers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gazza g Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Pcv valve opens under vacuum so shouldn't be to atmosphere anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matthew ep91 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Its only a tiny bit. It goes away after a few moments it doesnt do it all the time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gazza g Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Even so could indicate ring failure, might be best to get it connected back up to the inlet mani or run a catch can setup, get a compression test done for peace of mind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matthew ep91 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Funny as u say that I never seen it before until I blanked the pcv valve on the inlet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gazza g Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 It the other breather to atmosphere? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matthew ep91 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Yes the breather filter on the rocker cover. The steam is minimal tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gazza g Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Just make sure it's not full of gunk preventing proper breathing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matthew ep91 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 I cleaned the filter .connected pcv valve back up . Seems spot on now. My mechanic said its will b fine he said if it was rings it would be spitting out oil and smoke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
