PCV Valve filter. if it's on the inside

how? can i see a pic?
here is a pic of the little box on the side of the airbox ! remove the 2 screws that holding it ! and get the old filter out and use a piece of foam with the same size !

it could be your PVC valve too. check that one too.

he is carbed so the PCV valve is on the intake manifold not on the hose that 's coming out from the valve cover !Originally posted by shepherd79

BTW when i changed my PCV filter , the old one was all soaked in oil !

i dont have that anymore, i have a seperate filter for the valve cover thingy
it still, if you have a filter that connects to your valve cover your fiter should be dry and not socked in oil the reason it socked in oil is because your PCV is broken and it spits oil into your filter box.
Alex.
but the PCV valve is not connected to the airbox ! ?
sorry but i an kinda confused !

i don't really know how it works myself but i know if the PCV valve is broken than the oil will start comming out of the hose that connects to the airbox. which means that there is not enought air for ventilation.
this is all i know.
Alex.
umm iam havin the same problem with my pcv filter.. everytime.. i gotta clean it.. since its socked in oil like every 5 days.. man i hate doing that..... :ego:
well the suction from the intake draws oil from the valve cover... if you look at the roof of the vlave cover you'll see a few holes and there is a layered passageway to keep the oil out but allow the air to move freely.
if you just run a seperate filter on the vlave cover and block off the hole where the original one sat then you shouldn't have a problem.

non of you really understood what i said, on the inside of the AIR BOX, were the carb is, teh little silver screen has a round spot of black oil and right abox it on teh air box lide is little drops of oil,
hmm... so thats the only spot that has oil?
does your car try to run some times, even after you turn the car off?
- llia
yea sometimes
hmm... how far did you advance the timing... you may be forcing oil from the head (possibly the valves) up into the intake manifold and out the carb.
It's called reversion pulse... but also its know as desieling.
I've measured my pules to around 5psi of boost pressure. Thats more then enough to blow oil up the carb.
