Yes, PCV is "Positive Crankcase Ventilation". Somewhere the engine has a
PCV valve. The PCV port goes to that valve, and the other end of that valve
goes to the crankcase. My experience is mostly with Buick/Olds 215 V8
rather than the Rover 3.5L. On the Buick/Olds it goes to one of the valve
covers. Perhaps someone else will know the location of the PCV on the Rover.
Probably the Buick-Rover-V8@autox.team.net list would be a good place to ask
this question.

Jim B.
