Pcv Hose Removal Info

[sky-017]

i have a mojor air leak some where . i fellow SAU friend recons i should remove the hose(pcv) and block both holes on crackcase and rocker cover to see if this remedies my delema . any one blocked theirs off? - the sound is comming from their somewhere yet i cannot locate it . it could be possible that the one way valve in the pcv hose is ruined , any one had any leaks there or blocked theirs?

cheers

YUp my pcv valve seal also has a air leak, you can hear it start to whistle when the car is idling, hasnt caused any dramas yet tho, if you really want to block it off and do a quick job you could just cut the hose in half a put a bolt in each end to block it off.

But you might aswell get a catch can then remove the whole pcv setup and get an alloy bung made to fit inside the original pcv valve seal that goes in the cam cover, thats what i will be doing very soon.

results - i blocked off the pcv hose , yet to find when the car started it was bumpy as all hell . so i put it back together as per usual. i thought of spraying some wd40 around the hoses near there , and the wistling leak stopped and went to just an air wooshing sound , still cant find it .

i tried putting a hose and moving it aroun trying to listen where , its got me stuffed

can anybody help - this is soooo anooying , and its causing a slight rough idle now and then.
