I picked up a brand new PCV valve for a GTX 323.
It is non Genuine, was from Repco.
But when i got home and took it out of the packet it and blow through it, it still slightly leaks.
If i shake it and try again sometimes it seals sometimes it does not.

So i assume at 8 or more PSI it prob stands no chance.

I have found a few guys in the states who are running a one way check valve before the PCV.

They are really cheap but i can not for the life of me find where i could get one in Sydney?

If anyone has an idea i would love to know.

I think this would rule that issue out, then i can sort out the Hot side vent into a catch can and go from there.

Oh and if you want a good read on Crankcase Venting on NA & TURBO, i found this really useful.

this is what happened with my car.. turned out the rings shat itself and forced me to rebuild the motor :beer:

Ohhh really??
I wondered why you went a full rebuild.
If that is my issue i will just rebuild it in a few months.
Hoping i can get away with some improved ventilation for now.

yeah we took the head off and did a leak down test and it failed. Just build it stronger ;)

Hey mate did you ever manage to get the small inline check valve?

Dweezle · Postby **Dweezle** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 5:18 pm

Nah. I ended up figuring out my issue was just a blocked hotside vent from the cam cover.
Braineack reccomends the check valve though.
Prob worth getting.
