How to buy good quality pvc valve hose
PCV, or forced crankcase ventilation, is a relatively simple system, but it can literally shatter your car's engine if it's not working properly. The amount of damage this part can do is literally astonishing, so making sure your PCV valve hose and associated bushings are in good working order is a great way to keep your vehicle in good working order.
Fortunately, these components are not at all expensive. It is important to make sure the PCV valve hose has a tight connection to the crankcase to prevent air from entering the line. This will allow unfiltered air to enter the crankcase, which in turn can overload the oil filter and damage the bearings. This part serves as a bridge between the crankcase and the positive crankcase ventilation valve, which is one of the parts that help reduce emissions from the engine.
Here are some tips for choosing the right PCV valve for your vehicle:
Location: The PCV valve hose can be located either under the driver or passenger side of the vehicle; Read the part description carefully and make sure it matches where you can find the PCV valve hose before you buy it.
Vehicle specific: While generic products are available, it's always best to purchase one that's specifically made for your vehicle's make and model to ensure the tightest possible fit.
OEM for peace of mindA: With a part as important as this one, buying OEM parts is another way to make sure this relatively inexpensive part works properly and fits well - and doesn't cause very expensive problems with other parts like the engine and crankcase.
It's not a bad idea to replace the PCV valve hose whenever you change your air filter so that you always have a properly installed and high performance hose that provides adequate positive ventilation to your engine.
