Subject: [Healeys] PCV valve- from Pep Boys
After three unanswered e-mails to a supplier about the PCV kit, I decided to
try and make my own for my Tri-carb. From Pep Boys: Purolator valve PV770
$4.79. Brass Tite fitting #43075 $1.99. The PCV valve fits nicely inside
the hose that comes off the top of the valve cover. I did rough up with
sandpaper the end of the valve that goes into the hose and apply a bit of
gasket sealer (non hardening), and clamped it with a hose clamp. Took it
for a drive and it ran great. It MAY have eliminated/ reduced the timing
cover oil leak that I have been having issues with. Also seemed like less
engine smell (fuel/ oil)- but it may just be in my head.
