in reference to this thread

gonna try to "remove" the PVC system from the loop, to see if the noise i'm getting goes away.

to do this i just unhook the hose on the lower passenger side of the intake manifold mouth.
and then i have to plug the nipple on the intake manifold...correct?

otherwise it will pull unmetered air in.

YES?
NO?

What noise are you getting. If you are a street car this isnt a wise idea at all. Your rings wont seat and you will get blow by and you will have other issues.

PCV system can be rebuilt using simple fuel line and hose clamps. It makes No noise what so ever.

If it's rubber hose for the PCV system I would use a pair of vice grips just to see if the sound changes or goes away.

this is not a perminant thing.

i just want to pull the PVC system out of the "loop" to see if i have a leak causing some very odd noises all of a sudden.

i've checked the hoses, but don't feel or see anything...but its easily missed.

well i double checked the hoses, turns out the hose on the passenger side was disconnected.

BUT...

connecting it did nothing for the noise.

and pulling the PVC off the front of the manifold and plugging that did not change the noise.

so its not the pvc.

knew it couldn't be that easy.

curious...

pulling that hose off the intake, and covering with my finger...there is quite a bit of suction (obviously)

HOWEVER...

pulling the pvc hose off the valve cover there is no suction from that hose?
