Leaky PCV...
Leaky PCV...
ok I should know this by now. According to web info the PCV valve should be replaced yearly...umm... ....is this correct and does everybody else actually do this? Its weeping a little oil over the valve cover after each ride and I'm wondering if this is connected to an aging valve. anyone?
Re: Leaky PCV...
Usually they leak around the rubber grommet. What I do is take the rubber out and clean it and the valve cover area with brake clean and put a small amount of silicone in the groove to seal it up.
Re: Leaky PCV...
If you can shake the valve and hear a rattle,then the valve is ok
Re: Leaky PCV...
Yep.. that`s exactly right Phil... er.. Okie...er...
Re: Leaky PCV...

Re: Leaky PCV...
Put one or two turns of teflon tape arond the valve body and push it into the grommet...Joe
Re: Leaky PCV...
Thanks for the reminder Joe I still haven't done anything about it. Silicon, rattle, tefflon tape - ok I think I'm right to go now.
