That is called direct EVACUATION. Same as PCV- positive crank case ventalation.
You only see that on racing engines, It creates a vacuum and sucks the preasure
out of the crank case ( or engine ) Directly in and out of the exhaust system.
When a engine is running it builds pressure inside of the engine. That's what a PCV
valve is for, to remove the pressure. If you do not have one, then the pressure
will build up in the engine and blow the oil seals out. Then you have bad oil leaks.
seals and gaskets are the weakest points in the engine.
If you look at your engine it will not have a PCV valve, But that's okay just keep those hoses hook up to the headers. You have the best system now.
Root valve.
i have a 1.4 puma,i think its between inlet maifold pipes,there should be 2 hoses going into manifold and 1 in the middle going to the valve the hoses join on a T shape,my hoses collapse when engines running and kicks out black smoke
They are in the center of the valve covers with a tube running from them to the air intake one is about 20" long and one is about half that length.
The heater control valve is on the left hand side of the engine bay, under the air intake duct. it has two heater hoses running to it and one vacuum line running to it.
Sounds like your looking at a p.c.v.(positive crankcase ventilation valve,if it goes from valve cover to intake manifold.
On the top of the head/heads. The valve covers, cover the valve train.
it is mounted to the back of the rear valve cover, it has 2 hoses from the smog tube running to it.
take all the wiring and hoses loose from the top of the engine, and you might have to remove the valve covers. then just loosen the intake manifold bolts
crankcase ventilation.
The block and valve covers were black.The block and valve covers were black.
On my 1978 Camaro one vacuum line goes to the EGR valve and the other goes to the carbuerator.
I have a 94 Astro but the heater control valve should be in the same location. Look under the hood on the passenger side. There are two heater hoses behind the coolant reservoir and windshield washer reservoir. The hoses attach to the heater control valve. The valve has a round vacuum actuator on the side, and two more heater hoses leave the control valve and go into the heater core housing. Cost for the valve will probably be somewhere between $50 & $70 To replace it, remove the coolant reservoir and the windshield washer reservoir. Remember, or mark, the hoses for the washer if you have a rear washer. The electrical connections only go on one way. Remove the clamps securing the front heater hoses and remove the hoses from the valve. Remove the clamps holding the heater hoses coming off the back of the valve where they are attached to the heater core. These two hoses are factory attached to the valve and the new valve (from the dealer) comes with the hoses attached to the rear of the valve. The clamps are back in a small space behind the valve, rather hard to get to. We pulled the bracket with the three square relays situated above the hoses to allow easier access. Install in reverse order. Good luck.
