Crankcases and PCV Valves
Basically, a crankcase is the casing for the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine. Combustion produces pressure within the crankcase. Positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valves regulate the vapor pressure within the engine and recycle it back into the engine.

Where is the PCV valve on a 1991 Buick Regal?
When you open the hood and are standing in front of the car, at the left end of the vavle cover, which would be the pass. side, there may be a clip to hold the plug wires on it. There are probably two bolts on a flat cover, remove the bolts, you may have to gently tap the cover to break it free, it does have an o-ring seal and a spring under the cover. Use a pair of long nose pliers to grab and gently pull up to re move the old pcv valve you may have to use the pliers to install the new one, then spring and replace the cover
internal crankcase pressure is forcing oil through the PCV valve into the air cleaner.
first thing to check is for vacuum where the PCV plugs into the valve cover. you can use your hand to cover the opening or use a vacuum gauge with the car at idle (vacuum should be 3-5)
If you have pressure instead of vacuum the next step is to the other valve cover. it should have a hose coming from it that goes to the base of the carb or vacuum port near the plenum of the intake manifold and check for vacuum. this is to pull all the crankcase gasses into the intake and burn it in the combustion chamber and out the exhaust. the side with the PCV valve should be pulling fresh air from the airbox

Has anyone ever used a speedy sleeve to repair a crank shaft seal area?
The only way it would work (long term) to install a speedy sleeve is if the crank had a small groove in it from the old seal.
These sleeves are designed to overcome that problem, not chipping or any other damage. They will work for a seal groove but they can be tricky to install. You might have to buy more than one to get it all the way on without crushing it.
Take your time and be careful and follow the directions to the letter.

What is the valve inlet and exhaust settings V6 3.00?
Unfortunatly there is not enough information to answer this, I suggset getting a Chilton's manual for your vehicle, or going to your local library and looking it up in a Motor manual. You will need to know year, engine size and possibly series, though just having the VIN number can give you this with most books.
When is the proper time to check the oil on a car?
Generally, a car's oil should be checked/changed about every 4,000 miles.
However, if your vehicle has one of those "warning" symbols on your dashboard that lights up when the oil needs to be checked, it's best to give it a look-over.
Also be aware of any signs that signify your oil needs to be checked. If you see that it is leaking from underneath your vehicle, there could be a problem, so have it diagnosed as soon as you can.
Hope this helps!
