Larry,
The proper usage of the PVC system, which does NOT harm performance, is to have
a
sealed oil filler cap that is connected with a hose to the port on the stock air
cleaner that is inside the air filter. It allows clean air to enter the sump,
purging the crankcase fumes through the combustion chambers via the PCV valve.
This only occurs during non-power applications and is beneficial to the engine
and the environment.
