Hello,

 

i dont have find the PCV Valve:mad:

 

Only what i have find is an big tube from the Valve cover on the right Engine side to the Airbox and a thick tube going from the left Valve cover on a Y-distributor and from this Y-distributor going a thick tube under the carburetor an a little tube to the Airbox.

 

But a Valve i dont have find.

 

Anybody any idea ?

ok just to make sure I got this right:

 

10 days ago you changed your head gasket

before you changed it, the brat needed 1 litre every 1000km

but now it needs 1 litre every 200km

 

okay, the pcv valve I believe is on the right side of the intake manifold, the side with cylinders 1 and 3. a vacuum hose comes off of it, and the pcv is screwed into the intake manifold, I cant describe how it looks exactly, but it should need a fairly large (deep)socket/wrench to pull it out, I think 17mm, but not quite sure, give or take a couple mm. I'll try to find a diagram that can show you in a minute.

 

when you take the pcv off, it should rattle around when you shake it, if it doesnt, or if it barely does, soak it in gasoline or run a bunch of carb cleaner through it or something similar. clean it out really good.

PCV valve is called "Positive Crankcase Ventillation" valve. There might be a sticker under the hood of the vehicle with the "Vacuum Diagram". It may show where the valve is.

I forgot.

Anyone have a pic or diagram for him?
