What is a PCV valve?
Positice Crankcase Ventilation Valve-
The purpose of the PCV valve is to prevent unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, present in blow by gases, from being expelled into the atmosphere. This process also helps to reduce moisture and the presents of corrosive gases in the crank case ,which extends the life of you engine and engine oil by keeping it cleaner longer.
The PCV valve accomplishes this task by redirecting the the unburned gases from the crank case into the fresh air being fed to the engine, the fresh air and unburned gases mix with the fuel and are burned off when the air fuel mix combusts achieving cleaner emissions.
