I had thought that my 1098 had a non-vented cap, but recently I discovered
that it is ( now that I took the lint out of the holes ) a vented cap.
So ... is this a good thing for me or not?
( I do have a spring in my PCV now ... WOO-HOO! However, I haven't verified
in any manner that it is proper, ... only that it was found in a used PCV. )
