moisture in valve covers
« on: July 11, 2009, 10:24:35 pm »
hey gents have a small question. when i did my intake swap i noticed small accumulation of moisture inside the valve covers. well i cleaned it out and had someone tell of it was because i wasnt running  a pcv setup. could this be true? and before anyone asks yes i checked all gaskets and water level and all is good there.
