Deleting the PCV= good/bad?

[davidf]

We all know the PCV can eventually gunk up inside the TB and runners. If running open breathers on each VC, can one eliminate the PCV for a cleaner TB? Other than the smell, any drawbacks? Thanks.

I would get a catch can and still use it. It helps pull fresh air into the crankcase and gets the blowby gases out.

Ah, a fabulous can o' worms, that seemingly simple PCV question. Here's one thread in which that horse is beat upon mightily. There are others, do a little searching and you'll get more info than you ever wanted.

Agree with the above if its a street car. PM me if you want to make a $30 catch can from Home Depot...its works great!

Race car remove it.
