Smoke from new breather
Smoke from new breather
Hi i was was wondering if there is supposed to be smoke coming out of the breather? And is there any brand of valve covers that u can use the oil cap and the oilpresure senser on, because the new valve covers only have one hole in each one and i need two for the oil and oilpressure sensor, or is that the oil pressure sensor that goes on top of the left valve cover (looking at the engine from the front)?

Its PCV and it stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation. PVC is a type of piping, not related.
The PCV valve is on the the cover that has the oil filler hole. Just pull it out and shake it, if you hear it rattling then its fine, if not replace it. The smoke/vapor you speak of is blow-by, not all that serious. Mine does it too on occasion.
Your oil pressure sensor is not even located on the valve covers.
You couldnt even get an oil pressure reading on the valve cover, so dont even worry about getting a cover with two holes. Just get some that go to your motor, I'm guessing you want chrome.
