Listen to Hawk...

I have a buddy in Colorado who's 390 truck was seeping, not really leaking, but misty dirty EVERYWHERE. I got there on a road trip and saw no PCV, ran a 3/8 line and a Granada PCV (nice 3/8 90 degree angle)and vented the opposite v/c VOILA no leaks. He thought it was magical, but it was just vacuum instead of blowby (and regardless of how nice, all motors have some blowby)

Hawk hit it on the head, there are many reasons to run the PCV you WONT see with emissions and acids, but there is also one you will see, and thats more pressure in the cyl which will contribute to oil leaks and more mist / mess on the outside

I run a PCV on everything including my 427
