m42 PCV at the Manifold

[bearsbmw]

I can't think of anything to plug that spot with on the manifold ... any idea's anyone?

[kowalski]

what spot in particular?

you can buy caps that will fit, available at any auto parts store

or you could put a small piece of hose on, with a bolt in one end hose clamped on

 or you could tap the hole and put a bolt in it.

+1, the poor man solution that works great, cheap and easy

What's the benefit of plugging it?

[bearsbmw]

I mean blowing your engine up when Boosting 12psi in the PCV Line is not good lol

blowing your engine up lol among other thing's...

What do you do about crankcase ventilation?

[bearsbmw]

catch can with a breather filter

bears, I see that you have a M42...
I bought a used M42 inlet manifold, but the owner sent it without the PCV... manifold can't be used without because the upper part of it will hurt the fuel line.
 
So I'm building a spacer to retain the stock height. Can you measure how much is thick the PCV where upper and lower parts of the manifold join together?
 
This will save me time if you're able to do it. Otherwise I need to do a "trial and error"...

[bearsbmw]

will do .. get back to you soon

[nuvolarossa]

do it when you want, it's not a urgent problem

[bearsbmw]

you just want thethickness of that spacer between the upper intake and lower intake correct?
