alright - I now have cleared up the confusion regarding PCV/CCV: The front one that connects to the air cleaner box, is hollow, and the other one that connects to the intake plenum, is also hollow, but with one difference.. the rear valve has an orifice (a small 1/8 hole as you said) to help stop oil splatter from getting up into the elbow. While the engine is running, air is vented and pulled from the completely hollow elbow (ccv), which draws from the air cleaner box, through the engine valve cover and out through the (pcv), which pulls the engine blow by into the intake plenum, via the vacuum pressure pulling the air through. So CCV is located at the front of the valve cover, PCV at the rear.

if you wanna get even nerdier about it, the 4.0 doesn't actually have a PCV at all, but uses a CCV system (PCV/CCV are the types of systems, not the valves themselves) In this case, the 4.0 vent system is driven by negative pressure/vaccum - as the intake manifold generates a vacuum, it "pulls" on the rear tube (the metered one with a smaller hole) which pulls out the gasses in the case (and thus pulls air thru the front breather) In the 5.2, the pressure is generated "positively" as it builds up in the case and "pushes" the vapor out thru a check valve (instead of a vaccum "pulling" the vapor) The annoying part of all this is that "positive" pressure and "negative" pressure are the same thing from different directions - a positive "pushing" pressure creates a negative "pulling" (aka a vaccum) one behind it - if air is flowing around in a loop, is it going "in" or "out"? Gotta love semantics! If you're looking at this and thinking "why not just call all of these the same thing - a case venting system" you're not wrong

i have a question about this. i noticed mine in the front was leaking so i replaced it. i let it run for 15 minutes or so, it stays dry. when i drive it, about 5 or so miles down the road i get a burnt oil smell. there's oil on the top of the valve cover. it seems to be either coming from the new pcv or where the hose is. i can't tell where it's coming from because it doesn't leak when i let it run without driving it. i replaced everything but seeing this video, could this be because i didn't replace the one in the back also?

I think that only works on a 91-93 Valve Cover. Those years PCV/CCV Valves don't have separate grommets, they have a rubber seal that is attached directly to the PCV/CCV Valves and install/uninstall by rotating 90 degrees due to the slot in the hole in the Valve Cover. When you rotate it into the correct position it becomes tighter and makes the seal. On his 95 Valve Cover there is no Slot in that hole, it's just a hole that the Grommet presses into, and then the PCV/CCV Valves press into the Grommets.

It's called a PCV Valve.

You have them swapped, the tall elbow is supposed to go in front, PCV. The FLAT elbow is the CCV elbow and that goes in the rear. In your video these were in the wrong place.

@norefudiatingit

2 жыл бұрын

It;s not really about whether it's tall or short or black or grey, it's about the size of the hole underneath. His Black short one has a big hole underneath because it's hooked up to the Air Box or Air intake by a bigger hose. His rear one, the one that's hardest to reach nearest the firewall probably has the smaller hole as it should because the hose is immediately reduced down to a much smaller hose that is connected to the top of the Intake Manifold behind the throttle body. I have a shorter grey one that has the smaller hole, his shorter black one has the bigger hole. So in other words he did not have them swapped in the Video they were correct. Forget about what color they are or whether they are being called PCV or CCV and how tall or short they are and just pay attention to what they are supposed to do.

True. Could’ve saved myself an extra 20 seconds

One thing that helps with not breaking the plastic valves when taking them out is to use a pair of pliers with a bent end on them, you can use a flathead screwdriver to get the pliers under them and then use a hammer/deadblow to tap the pliers far enough under so you can use leverage to get them out. After that you can use the pliers to get the grommet out by simply getting under it with one side, then push inwards and twist and it will break the seal and come right out.
