Found a easy PCV solution for the 235

[wolffcub]

Been looking into installing a PCV system in the 235 for a while now. I just got around to it last week. Went shopping for some bits after seeing what others use for the downdraft tube hole. Some use metal sleeves to reduce the dia of the hole, others drill into the existing draft tube and mod it. Some use a larger grommet and cut it down to get it to fit.

I came across this part at a MOPAC parts store the other day. Its a grommet that fits snugly and perfect in the downdraft hole. Part number is in the picture. The grommet is about 3/4" deep and also has a recessed ring around it that is a good place to install some gasket maker in prior to pushing it into place.

The PCV valve slides in with the aid of a little oil and some force. The full assembly is not going anywhere.

The overall price for both parts was about $10 I think.

Though I would share for those interested.

Yes what he said! And thanks for sharing this info I will be replacing mine this week.

FRAM FV184 I think all the parts were actually $5 total not the $10 I mentioned before.

Without a baffle, it's going to pull a lot of oil through it.

Is the internal baffle already installed not enough?

It's an internal valve not a baffle.
Here's a better grommet. Same size.

You could put a clear hose on the one you got to see how much oil it sucks up.

No I mean the internal baffle in the crank case.

Oh!! That one!!
Try the clear hose to see if it works well enough.
I bought clear hose at the hardware store.

That was the reason I put the valve in the hole in the draft tube instead of right in the block. The draft tube has a baffle in it and should prevent oil from being sucked up.

is there a diagram anywhere that shows how the whole PCV system should look once completed? For those of us that are a little less on the up and up

Here's a scan of a page from the assembly manual. Ought to give you an idea, anyway.
