PVC Valve for 92 XJ-S V12
Reviving this thread:
Mine has the PVC Valve missing and hose was not connected. Temporally connected the PVC line to the back of the LH air cleaner box. Have been searching the cyber universe for a replacement but the only one coming up is the OEM starting at $60.00.
Is the above mentioned PVC valve a good substituted?

a simple PCV (positive crankcase ventelation) valve should be connected to the internals of the engine, it helps to put a slight vacuum in the crankcase, reducing oil leaks and getting rid of fumes.
valve can usually connect up high on the cam cover or any place convient and not the air cleaners, i use the vacuum from the inlet manifold to operate it,simple Chevy V8 part.

I found a PVC valve in a early 90s V6 S10 pick up with the straight ports. However, not all PVC valves are supposedly created equal and have not found any specs in the shop manual which lead me to do more and found the following sites of interest:

Motorcraft PCV 2000 FOR RANGE 4.0L
I thought I'd document in this old thread a PCV that works well in the v12 XJS. It's Motorcraft EV 225 and it's found in the 2000 Ford ranger with the 4.0L it had very little flow at idle. I tried the Autozone generic replacement PCV and it idle at 1000rpm, so too much flow. The EV 225 works great and fits perfect.

i just added to my V12, an oil catch can, it has no valve , i removed any valves at all, it puts a negative vacuum in the crankcase, with only a restricter 1/4 inch hole , it works great!
engine did increase idle speed to around 1000, so i just backed off the right side throttle plate till 850rpm, to my amazement , runs better than before and response is better also!
also no oil inside air filter areas,both sides dry, and reduced rope seal leaks !

Where does the hose going to the manifold connect?
Where did you get the breather filter boot?
