As the name suggests, there is "positive" pressure in your crankase from all that movement.
you could create a vent that just let it out into the atmosphere, but since it has fumes from oil/gas it's bad for the environment. this is why it is piped back into your intake system and burned off in the engine.

Is there a PCV valve on a 1999 Toyota solara?
Yes, both the 6 cylinder and 4 cylinder engines have PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valves.
What is crank case ventilation?
Crankcase ventilation is a system in internal combustion engines that allows for the removal of gases that accumulate in the crankcase during operation. These gases, primarily consisting of blow-by gases from the combustion process, can contain harmful pollutants and moisture. The ventilation system typically uses a PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve to redirect these gases back into the intake manifold for re-combustion, which helps reduce emissions and maintain engine efficiency. Proper crankcase ventilation is essential for engine longevity and performance.
Does a 1991 Pontiac Grand Am 2.5 manual trans have a PCV valve?
yes it does, all engines have a pcv valve ( positive crankcase ventilation ) valve. it is on the engine and vacuum goes to it from the valve covers.
Does a gx620 Honda engine have a PCV valve?
The Honda GX620 engine does not have a traditional Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve like those found in many automotive engines. Instead, it typically uses a breather system that allows for ventilation of the crankcase gases without a separate PCV valve. This design helps to maintain proper pressure within the crankcase and allows for the escape of any accumulated gases.
How does positive crank ventilation work?
The question should really be "How does positive crankcase ventilation work?" You can't ventilate a crank, it's either solid (roller bearing crank) or the only spaces are oilways. Positive crankcase ventilation, PCV, is used to prevent a build-up of combustion gases in the crankcase. The piston rings prevent most combustion gases getting down the sides of the pistons and into the crankcase but a little does sneak past. This is called 'blow by' and increases as the engine wears. If there was no ventilation, pressure would build in the crankcase and cause oil leaks and other trouble. In early engines the crankcase was just vented to atmoshere via an oil trap so combustion gas fumes and some oil vapour escaped into the air. Later, to prevent this, the crankcase was vented instead to a low pressure part of the inlet system. The engine then consumes its own fumes. Originally this was just a flow restricting hole to the inle manifold but complication has crept in over the years. We have seen one-way valves, 'gulp valves' and similar all intended to hold the crankcase pressure just below atmospheric and get the engine to consume it own fumes without upsetting fuelling accuracy. On diesel engines and supercharged engines a pressure lower than atmospheric can be created by putting a venturi in the the inlet. On a conventional gasoline engine the inlet is always below atmospheric pressure. Mark www.top-biker.com
Where is the PVC valve on a Diesel engine?
On a diesel engine, the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PVC) valve, commonly referred to as the PCV valve, is typically located on or near the engine's valve cover. It connects the crankcase to the intake manifold, allowing for the recirculation of gases. In some engines, it may be integrated into the valve cover or connected via a hose. Always consult the specific engine's manual for precise location details.
Is there a PCV valve in the lf 250hp Yamaha outboard 2006?
No, a 2006 Yamaha LF 250hp outboard motor does not have a PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve like those found in automotive engines. Instead, outboard motors typically use a different system for managing crankcase pressure, which may include a breather or vent system. If you're experiencing issues related to engine performance or emissions, it's advisable to consult a service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Is there a crankcase vent filter on a yanmar diesel?
Yes, many Yanmar diesel engines are equipped with a crankcase vent filter as part of their ventilation system. This filter helps prevent oil mist and contaminants from escaping into the atmosphere while allowing gases to vent safely. However, the presence of a crankcase vent filter can vary based on the specific engine model and application, so it's advisable to consult the engine’s manual for precise information.
What does a PCV valve contro in ford trucks?
PCV stands for positive crankcase ventilation. It prevents an over pressure condition in your engines crankcase that could cause oil to be forced past the pistin rings into the firing chamnber. If your PCV is clogged you will probably see increased oil useage and on some vehicles gas mileage may be affected as well. On cars prior to PCV there was an open tube that vented excess pressure over the side. With PCV the pressure is vented into the intake manifold and used as part of the fuel/air mixture.
What would caouse air to come out of dip stick on 455 olds engine?
Pressure builds up in the crankcase on all internal combustion engines. If your 455 is an older model it should have an overboard vent but you still may have some pressure relieved through the dipstick tube. Newer engines use a PCV or positive crankcase ventilation valve to relieve the pressure. You probably won't have any vented through the dipstick tube if that valve is working properly. They are pretty cheap (3 to 4 dollars) and easy to change. If your pcv is clogged it may also cause your engine to use more oil than it normally would.
Where is the crankcase on a 2000 Ford Explorer?
The crankcase on ALL engines is at the bottom of the engine, covering the crankshaft (that's where the name Crank-Case comes from) and holds the oil in the engine.
Theoretical of blow-by in engine?
Some blowby is normal in all engines, this is the reason for the pcv system (positive crankcase ventilation). excessive blow by, is the cause of worn pistons and or piston rings. excessive blowby will alot of times show up in the air cleaner box as raw oil that the pcv system just could not handle. If indeed you do have excessive blowby it is a major internal engine failure. Again blowby is normal in all engines, but it should never be so excessive as to show smoke in the blow by
