An alternate solution but not usually a good one

eliminating the PCV is fine for a car that sees little road time but the lack of a PCV causes a lot of problems in the crankcase like acids and moisture in the oil (no you can't see it but test it and it is there). also you will incur more crankcase pressure which causes more oil leaks long term. if you are not running a PCV you need to do more oil changes and clean your engine more often. on an average street car the lack of a PCV will shorten engine life through wear and hurt both performance and economy. on a purpose built vehicle that is maintained properly it probably doesn't hurt much but as we know most people are not on top of it enough and tend to let things slide. hawkrod
