Re: Adjustable PCV Valve
There are guys running check valves from power brake units instead of the pcv valves. Its a poor mans vacuum pump. was always told if you could keep some vacuum in the crankcase say 3 in it would free up some power. Remember for all the air that is moving on top of the piston there is air moving below it also. Back in the day they said it helped ring flutter. But with todays ring combos who knows. Tom

Re: Adjustable PCV Valve
Back in the 70s I used a hemi fuel pump hooked to a PCV on my max wedge 64 Plym (later valve covers) I did it mostly for blow by, had to use a catch can so it was doing something.
