Civic EG

what would be the symptoms of not having a pcv valve on by civic with a high compression b18a1 swap



on the otherside i just changed the head gasket and used arp head studs and an oem heaad gasket and some how it still smokes white ,everything was torqued down to 80 foot pounds in 2 sequences like arp says to ant suggestions would be helpfunll to both problems

when i was missing my PCV vavle i had a terrible bouncing idle going from 1000-2000rpms. after i installed it. i didnt have it no more. but i do get the stupid idle on my car when cold starting. not when warm though

run like shit

that explains everything! my car doesnt have a bouncing idle when its cold but when its warm its ridiculous, and would having no pcv valve allow oil to go into the intake manifold ??

If u don't have ur pcv valve installed I don't kno how it would connect to ur intake manifold with the hose Just try it out and see if it works. My pcv valve broke off in the manifold and it was a bitch to take out cuz its brittle and breaks off easily.

i have a hose that just runs from the black box on the back to the vacuum port on the intake manifold, i no that there is a ball bearing in a pcv valve that allowes the gas fumes to go through and nothing else but i dont have that.
and is ther a diy for taking out and putting in a pcv valve

nvm i found one in the diy section

Not having a PCV in the system doesnt let the harmful fumes exit the crankcase inturn making ur oil sludge and stuff like that. you would smell the fumes eventually and u will see smoke at idle... white too. gettin one in or having a catch can set up will help you tons and save the engine for ya..

so not having it while create the effect of a blown headgasket blowing white smoke if thats what im understanding correctly
