Positive Crankcase Ventilation: Description and Operation
CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEMCCV System:
All engines are equipped with a Closed Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) system.
The Closed Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) system performs the same function as a conventional PCV system, but does not use a vacuum controlled valve.
On this engines, a fitting on drivers side of cylinder head (valve) cover contains the metered orifice. It is connected to manifold vacuum.
A fresh air supply CCV tube (hose) from the air cleaner is connected to rear of cover on these engines.
When the engine is operating, fresh air enters the engine and mixes with crankcase vapors. Manifold vacuum draws the vapor/air mixture through the fixed orifice and into the intake manifold. The vapors are then consumed during combustion.
