We'll test the modified stock PCV for awhile and see if it effects less oil flow into intake, any negtive to engine seals and gaskets and what effects to air/fuel.

Stock orifice type of GM's used 2003 pickups I think the hole is too small and I think the pintel value is safer.


I replaced the original PCV valve with an orifice of 2.4 mm (homemade).
I haven't noticed any difference in fuel trims nor in idle quality.
It was just necessary to reset the PCM and perform an idle relearn procedure.
I have a catchcan between orifice and intake manifold: it doesn't collect more oil than with the PCV valve.

Important: between the orifice and the intake manifold I had to install a checkvalve because the engine is supercharged.
