[QUOTE="youngjohn, post: 86940, member: 2185"] The interesting thing about a PCV, is that it is a 2 way valve. The design of the valve has a flat metal 'leaky' seal so that it lets air out of the engine and then restricts, but doesn't stop air coming back in. The important thing is the difference between the amount of air going out of the engine and the amount of air that the valve lets back in, and that is governed mainly by the weight of the 'plunger' and then the strength of the light spring. These variables are the difference between valves for different applications. I'm not sure how well the flattened rubber tube 'duck bill' valves work as they are usually so far from the engine that the internal volume of the tube connecting them absorbs much of the pressure differences, reducing the valves ability to regulate airflow, particularly at high speed. This is why a PCV should be as close to the engine as possible. [/QUOTE]
