To Test
Operation of the PCV valve should be checked as follows:-
1) With the engine idling pull the PCV valve (B) from the rocker cover. A hissing
noise should be heard as air passes through the valve and a string suction felt
when a finger is placed over the valve inlet.
2) Replace the OCV valve in the rocker cover.
3) Remove the crankcase inlet filter and hold a piece of stiff paper or thin
card over the hole. Allow about a minute for crankcase pressure to drop and
the paper should be sucked against the hole with noticeable force.
4) Replace the crankcase cleaner.
5) Switch off the engine.
6) Remove the PCV valve from the rocker cover and shake. A rattling noise should
be heard indicating that the valve mechanism is free.
7) If the preceding tests prove positive the PCV valve may be refitted and the
crankcase ventilation system deemed satisfactory. If any of the tests should
indicate a fault, the PCV valve should be renewed and the pipe lines cleaned.
NOTE: Never attempt to clean the PCV valve.
To Renew
The cleaner and valve must be renewed in accordance with the service schedules.
