THat sounds like a very nice, practical solution. Maybe I can find
something that will fit inside the original PCV. I know that it looks
stupid, it was clearly a bodge solution, but it is original.
I wonder exactly how a modern PCV works. I guess that it has a
spring loaded valve that allows air to pass only when the pressure
differential reaches a certain level. Maybe ther is a flow restrictor as
well
so that the mixture is not excessively leaned.....

Subject: Re: TR4A PCV Diaphragm
My solution for my GT6+; went to AUTOZONE (please no wisecracks) purchased
a
BMW PCV valve - it's about 1/2 inch at both ends, basically the same as
the
valve cover and the manifold, bought a 90 degree elbow, and a foot of the
appropriate hose. I used a tap on one end of the elbow to thread it for
one
end of the valve (the end toward the engine is a hose connector end) and
put
the hoses on. Presto-chango I now have emissions acceptable crankcase
ventilation, I don't have to source that damn rubber flap valve or the s
shaped hose, I can buy replacements easily, and I don't have that silly
standoff bracket hanging on my head
