    PCV system bad?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    i finished my stage 3 a week ago, and its got about 800mi on it. after pressure testing it last night, it began to blow a ton of smoke out the exhaust, and it was definitely oil. it was dripping out of the flex pipes on the downpipes at one point right after pressure testing. i'm guessing that when we pressurized to intake, the pcv check valve took a poop and not its letting a great amount of oil from the crankcase and putting it in the intake system all the way through the exhaust. what's the solution? is it a new pcv sytem that i need for the extra boost pressure or just a new valve?

    You need to unplug the PCV valve (and cap it off) and loosen the oil filler cap before pressure testing.

    yes im aware of that now seeing that i came up with what most likely happened on my own. What I need help with is what do i do about the ensuing failed pcv valve now that keeps blowing oil through my system.

    Replace it if you're worried. I'm sure the valve will be fine.
