URGENT oil pressure stop engine
Pesky jones:
Cheers rich I was looking last night and might be able to get one for about about 100 second hand good condition, but think I should probably go new from tps.
Yeah ill have a crack at removing them. Im not sure about blocking the inlet manifold, plus when blocking the pcv does that plate that blocks it not use the same screw holes as the pcv? What are the benefits of pcv delete, think I need to do some research on it tbh :signLOL:

I suppose the main benefit is losing the flimsy plastic valve and saying goodbye to regular replacements and dodgy idling / blown rocker gaskets etc.
Dan_FR:
Cam cover wont be under vacuum, any minor leaks here will have no effect on running so the surging should stop and you wouldn't face the expense of a new engine cover, just need a way to vent the crank and cam gases.
Research needed, lot's of pros and cons

@Dan_FR Using the forge PCV delete plate above, I will essentially block the cam cover venting gas to the inlet manifold, but it will still vent to the crank if Im understanding correctly. Then the cam cover will vent gasses through the two rear breather pipes.
The only con I could find being that it increases the pressures inside the engine as it is now venting the cam cover gassess through one less outlet?
It all looks good, however, Id still need to remove the two bolt shafts in order to fit this plate!
I think r-tech kits are probably all sold out now. There was only 10 left about a month ago...
Dan_FR:
Not quite. Crank gases vent in to the cam cover as usual, but then all of the crank and cam gases are forced through the other side of the cam cover (via the tiny channel/cut-out on the back of the PCV plate) and in to the turbo using the main rear breather (the other small one is from the N80 EVAP system - separate)
This does increase crankcase pressure which is why I tell people to either go R-Tech PCV (which includes a blank for the turbo, and all gases are vented to atmosphere) or stick with the factory PCV. Ideally you would still sort your cam cover regardless though
With the R-Tech one a 100% perfect seal isn't crucial as it is just unmetered blow-by gases being vented to atmosphere, although you may get a slight weep of oil from it as you would expect
Think I would get the cam cover fixed or look for a decent used one and then go from there
