Positive Crankcase Ventilation: Service and Repair




POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION

With engine running at idle, remove PCV valve from rocker cover. A
properly working valve makes a hissing noise as air passes through it. A strong vacuum should be felt immediately when a finger is placed over valve inlet.
Is the inspection result normal?
