Re: I Don't Get The PVC Mod..... (lost)
The old style PVC system sucks. It allows oil to migrate from the crank case and get into your intake manifold. The oil will cause knock and you will loose timing and performance! Keep the oil out and your car runs better. The best fix is an 02 PVC system out of an LS6. There are other PVC mods and I just purchased the inline air / oil seperator from wall mart. We will see how that works :thumbs: Anyway that you can come up with to keep the oil out of your combustion chamber it good.

Its PCV not PVC having said that unless you have a Z06 you have the same PCV system as all non Z06 engines. I have seen posts from some Z06 guys who claim they also are getting oil into their intakes. my opinion do the air filter PCV mod costs $20 & is worth it.

Re: I Don't Get The PVC Mod..... (FYNL4)
I did the PCV Mod today. I have a question, does the arrow on the filter go towards the intake manifold or air intake? I am guessing intake manifold but want to make sure. On the website it just says "intake". Need clarification please.

Here is where I went but could not find the Campbell Hausfield part he talks about so I used the Amflo "Mini-air filter" 1/4" Port & Poly Bowl #968283 B and the Amflo "Hose barb with clamp" 3/8 ID, 1/4 NPt #969713 A
Hope this helps, found them at Lowes in the tool dept. by the air compressors.

You can go to the Campbell Hausfeld website which is:
http://www.chpower.com/
Do a search on the part number: MP5138
You can order it on-line. I am going to buy a couple of them, one for the PCV mod and one for my air compressor.
thanks a lot guys.

Re: I Don't Get The PVC Mod..... (boblackhardtop)
OK, now I have two different opinions on this. I guess that having it point towards the air intake would make sense too. :confused: Since it is supposed to keep oil out of the air intake or MAF. Now I'm really confused.
