You are the best professor so far in explaining how PCV valve works! And also why it is called POSITIVE. Maybe you could also do a video about how to fix high oil consumption. I have a 2006 RAV4 which consumes a quart of oil for every 300 miles! It is a well known fact with 2006 to 2009 RAV4.
Great information and well presented! Thank You for putting your heart and soul into the presentation to explain the Blowby and PCV valve’s functions positives and negatives! Thank You!
The best PCV valve there is on UA-cam. I upgraded my diesel engine with a bigger turbo and was worried about the excessive blow-by and wanted to add an oil catch can but didn't get a good answer or explanation from other videos. Thank you for your videos.
Wow what a great video explanation for both diesel and gas! My Volkswagen Jetta 2001 TDI (the ALH diesel engine) has a pcv valve on it on it btw. One of the most efficient and reliable engines ever made by VW probably. It’s definitely a valve though, I’ve taken it apart and there’s a membrane in there to make sure air only flows in one direction. It connects from the valve cover to the intake after the turbo compressor but before the intercooler. My guess as to why they thought it was needed on the diesel is because the boost pressures can fluctuate between positive and negative pressure depending on the RPM and if it’s in limp mode.

Thank you so much. In 2 days I learned a lot, and I happened to have a problem with my car that your videos helped me to solve. Didactic explanations, even a layman in the field would understand and can use to personally solve their mechanical problems👌👌👌
Your explanations of PCV and EGR are very good. Concise and easy to understand. I make parts for engine conversions, and always recommend that customers leave these systems as they were designed to be. However, I'm also sure that many of them don't understand the function and purpose of these systems. Would you mind if I include links to these videos on my web site?
Great presentation. 2:09 Willys Go-devil L134 for a 2 wheel drive application. This engine was one of the first to employ the PCV system on military vehicles. In the 1960's PCV's were added to civilian cars to control emissions. The PCV also prevents an engine backfire from traveling into crankcase.
I suggest on installing occ make sure it is ventilated well, i use occ just like you have but i make hole at the brass filter and put stainless steel wool., so far so good, make sure it is ventilated well. You’re right the shorter the hose the better.
You enlightning me sir.... ill subscribe you.... 👌... Now I know the reason why my dad put the breather hose of his diesel truck into his exhaust pipe... 🤫 ... we dont have emision laws here...so its fine... 🤣 ....
My 1976 alfa romeo has a factory oil seperator can. It has a small hose from the can to the intake after the throttle valves. Them there is a large hose from the can to the a cleaner (this one take over when the throttle valves are open) There is also a hose going from the can to the dip stick tube for oil return and of coarse a large hose from the valve cover to the can. However there is no positive crankcase air going back Into the engine and there is also no pvc valve to regulate positive pressure. I assume this set up has constant vacuum.
That's a lot of useful information. following up on my comment about OCC. My idea was to point the blowby exhaust down like you showed. Since it needs vacuum to be pulled out, what about if I did 3D printed OCC or just dump hose that would have a fan or something to pull the blowby out?
I have a Polo 1.5tdi diesel engine. I have to remove the top plastic casing due to a breakage of a injector holder screw. I took out the screw and fitted it back. Everything is working good now. But so I have to use any paste and seal the plastic case to prevent any leakage in future. I haven't noticed any paste stains while removing. Another question is I found diesel on top of my injector holder. But when I removed that diesel and tried accelerating on a high rpm, I couldn't find any leakage on common rail, injector input pipes or injector return pipe. I tried accelerating the car while at rest few times but can't find any leak. I found this diesel after driving for 45mins. Could you please advise on how the leakage might have happened.
sir diyer....can i remove the breather hose fr. valve cover going back to intake manifold ? just because i noticed sometime when i was removed the valve cover together with the breather hose,It Has a OilMist going out to breather hose ang going through to intake manifold to combustion chamber...what if i remove the breather hose and i close the hole to intake manifold to prevent dirt air sunction.. and the other hole fr valve cover is remain open...my goal is to prevent dirt fr. oilmist going through to the throttle body...

sir its ok to take it out ah breterhose to intakemonifold down into the transmission diesel engine my car..thnx to advice me it is god or bad to the engine
Idol tanong clarification langpo, nakaka apektto ata ng Engine Performance ang PCV system kasi ang operation niya po ay magbubukas ang PCV valve during low vaccuum and high RPM tapos during High RPM naman kailangan ng Engine Performance. Tingin ko po sir ano, pag low RPM high engine vaccuum mag bubukas ang PCV valve tsaka papasok ang blowby sa engine. Kasi po pag high RPM nga siya papasok makaka apekto sa engine performance kagaya po sa EGR gagana po sa engine idle or low RPM. Peace Be With You po😅.
Sir i just bought a motorcycle v twin and oil is pumping through the crankcase vent, im thinking about installing a PVC at the end of the hose, is that okey ?
means you either have to try a higher viscosity oil as your pistons are warn slightly or damaged and letting burnt gas through where they not supposed to be. either a big job and alot of money or you could try higher viscosity oil to seal up as best as can or sell car
Hi,i have Fiorino 1.3 Euro5 with 75hp.I have problem , when i startup car ,engine run ok, after some minute 3-5minute i have blue smoke.I have check 3 times injector(in Bosch servise),new timing chain,new glow plugs,new DPF.Oil is always on max.Colant is ok.I have clean EGR,Intercoler,Intake manifold.When car litle get worm all is OK.Also I have buy new MAP,MAF and new oil separator.Can you please help me?Thanks
try oil little under max? maybe you have a bad pcv valve and pressure is pushing oil up past pistons and mixing with your fuel burn?? I'm not a mechanic😅
very very good explanation sir. but may I ask what makes more carbon build up? because of EGR or Crankcase gases? or by removing either 1 and it would reduce the carbon.
The crankcase ventilation system is the one that carries the oil vapour, which is where the carbon comes from. The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system then bakes on the carbon oil vapour in your inlet, because of the high temperature of the exhaust gasses.
@@cuvame Depending on where you live, it is generally illegal to vent straight to atmosphere (as it is untreated). Most people advise using an oil catch can (OCC). The OCC fits inline with the crankcase ventilation (CCV) system, so catches the oil vapour (which then turns back to liquid). You will have to periodically drain the OCC as it fills up over time (catches the oil vapour and crud that would normally be refed into the intake). As for it being better to remove the CCV, well it depends on which perspective you take. Dumping untreated pollution to atmosphere is a downside, however it does remove the issue with carbon buildup within the intake. I personally would go with an OCC.
@@terry9397 what I plan to do is using an OCC then venting it out hahaha thanks for the insight. But what bad effects does it make to the engine?? Will the excessive pressure of the crankcase destroy something in the engine? What I've read, as long as the car is moving, the pressure is being sucked out by the force of the car moving forward. That was my biggest fear. That the intake is a big part in sucking the pressure out of the crackcase.....
Hi sir My 4d56 engine is good no smoking no hard start and no oils loss but I see some oil in the air filter box com from breather pipe why?is it normal or not and how can I fix and big thanks to you and sorry my English is not good
I have a peewee see-valves on or in or near the middle of the back and on the front side of the connection does under or with or at or it can be beside the case with the top corner near the back facing towards the intake inlet indent incence hold the spring firmly with both sides correctly while over both the top rightside of the back of the actual unit or follow this link to finish, i hope this was helpful and are you able to thank you.
Very helpful thank you very much are you from world war 2 like you said in the movie i am from my hometown where i live can the valve be a bad connection with both of us learning magic and cast spells on them
This is what I'm trying to find out, can't find one on my 1.6 crdi Kia Soul, just a pipe coming off the valve cover into the intake pipe with no PCV valve at either end 🤷not even any filter in the pipe so i's just constantly sucking in dirty oil vapers into the intake...seems odd to me
Obviously you are one of those just because you saw a single video or had a single experience thinks that you know it all. Lol but if you watch the video carefully which clearly you did not what you claim to be wrong has been explained. Lol but if it helps you feel better, im wrong and youre correct. Congratulations! Lol

Thank you for your video i hope it wasn't windy today and i am very ticklish but i will not kiss you on our first date unless you are a very very handsome fellow also if the topside on the corner is the valve on or near or in or close to or located across the intake manifold then are you going to tell me your secrets my secrets are very shiney and have been cursed and now i can't find them unless you are the gate keeper or my naughty uncle busy fingers and a wizard but shhh, i hope this was helpful links in the description

what if diesel equipped with turbo - still pcv is not required?
Are you saying diesel engines do not have a pcv valve?

What if there's a white smoke in the oil disptick? (Diesel engine)
means you either have to try a higher viscosity oil as your pistons are warn slightly or damaged and letting burnt gas through where they not supposed to be. either a big job and alot of money or you could try higher viscosity oil to seal up as best as can or sell car

that throttle is for helping combine gasses from egr
@@MrDIYerdoes the EGR in a diesel tend to clog up more than in a gasoline/peteol EGR
@@stephenmaas8775 more than likely yes. Because diesel burns dirtier than gasoline.
