PCV valve

i recently changed my PCV valve on my 82 TA and i noticed the old only had to ends to it.. one end went into the valve covers and the other end went into the hose that it connects too.. now the new one i got has those same 2 ends but also has one that sticks to the side.. when i put my hand on it, it seemed like it was suckin in air into the valve cover.. i believe the new one looks right but whats with that old one? was it not the proper one? maybe that cause my car to develop the worm piston rings or soemthing.. not getting proper air flow in the engine..? heh i dunno

Some aftermarket PCV valves have more than one hose connection.

Just use the one you need, and cap the other.

Cap it before you go lean and burn a piston...
