what is the function of the pcv valve in a carburated engine i replaced it yesterday and there is like a plastic gasket arround it (the pcv is metal) any ways when i pulled it out the plastic gasket was too old or something and it broke the top part came out with the old pcv and the other half stayed in the intake it didn't fell inside (luky me) i put the new one in and it kind of fitted right i checked for leaks with carb. cleaner and there where none. i also torned the u shaped hose conecting the pcv and the intake i dont know if they sale it at auto zone or not any ways i replaced it with a different one but it is kind of obstructed because of the position in which its bending should i replace it with a new one or can i leave it like that?
