What happens if I remove PCV hose?
What happens if I remove PCV hose?
If the oil gets warm enough, the water “boils” out of the oil and the PCV evacuates it (and other fumes and gases) from the crankcase. Without positive ventilation, contents of the crankcase will never really be ideal. An engine without PCV is much more likely to build up sludges and acids in the oil etc.
Can I replace pcv with breather?
You can replace the breather on the passenger side. That’s not a big deal. That’s all that hose to the air cleaner does is draw in air. You do want to keep the PCV valve.
How is the PCV valve hose attached to the intake?
Once you locate the PCV valve, you will see how the PCV valve hose is attached to the PCV valve and the intake. Your vehicle may use quick disconnectors, spring hose clamps, or gear type hose clamps. Gear type hose clamps are removed by using a ¼ inch or 5/16 inch socket to loosen the hose clamp and slide it from the hose ends.
How are fumes pulled out of a PCV valve?
A second hose is connected down to the crankcase, and the fumes are pulled out of the crankcase through the valve cover into the intake manifold. But we also have to replace anything that we take out of there, so we have a hose that allows fresh air to replace the fumes that we’re sucking out of the oil pan.
Is the vent from the PCV valve back into the air?
There is something called a pcv/ccv which has a tiny hole and acts as a valve. Usually further away from the front of the vehicle. Then, what I think OP is asking about, is basically a vent that goes into your air filter which is often misidentified as a pvc valve and ordered incorrectly because they look identical at a glance.
Can a fuel hose collapse under a PCV system?
The fuel hose is designed for internal pressure. It will collapse under the vacuum of the PCV system. PCV hose is designed specifically so it won’t collapse. So insist on PCV hose, never fuel hose or vacuum hose. Now what’s going to happen aside from seals? Well, it could get a lot worse.

How to stop PCV from sucking oil into intake?
Run the stock oil cap & plug the valvecover nipple….& any other place the crankcase is open to free air! This will allow the PCV to create a totally sealed vacuum inside the crankcase (which is good).
What happens when you close off the PCV valve?
Closing off the end of the PCV hose will raise the pressure inside the engine until the PCV hose (or one of its connections) bursts, your collecting container ruptures, the engine oil dipstick pops out, or one of your oil seals leaks or blows out.
