Positive Crankcase Ventilation: Description and Operation

Fig. 7 CCV Systems-Typical:

CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM
These engines are equipped with a Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) system (Fig. 7). The CCV system performs the same function as a conventional PCV system, but does not use a vacuum controlled valve.

A fitting on drivers side of cylinder head (valve) cover contains the metered orifice. It is connected to manifold vacuum.

Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) Hose:

A fresh air supply hose from the air cleaner is connected to rear of the cylinder head (valve) cover.

When the engine is operating, fresh air enters the engine and mixes with crankcase vapors. Manifold vacuum draws the vapor/air mixture through the fixed orifice and into the intake manifold. The vapors are then consumed during combustion.
