Replaced old PCV valve, and oil is still being sucked up ?
#21
That's on my todo list, but the nearest place that stocks those kinds of parts is a hundred miles away so it might be a while before I get around to doing it.
Ya know what this thread really needs? Someone who's done a belly pan replacement, has kept up on PCV valve replacements with dealer parts for a few tens of thousands of miles, and a camera to get a picture of what it ought to look like in there. That'd be worth bookmarking.

Remove your PCV and plug the hole, make sure your oil dipstick has a good ring on it and is fully seated as well. Disconnect the air tube from the air in side on the opposite valve cover.
Plug the hose with your finger..
If it builds up a vacuum; you have a manifold leak...
If it builds up pressure and it blows out at you; its normal.. No leak.. do the test at various temps. Cold and Fully warmed up and hell even after a nice drive...

Well i think what im going to do is just get a catch can or something to eliminate the oil problem. I just need to figure out how to make one, they dont seem to sell them for the 5.9 anywhere
One guy said to get a fuel filter and put it on the line... I dunno about that but maybe it wouldnt hurt to try and see how much oil is really going up the line

Thank you
On the catch can issue; By removing all the pcv oil vapors are you not taking some of the upper cylinder lubrication and sealing properties out of the motor? You add oil when doing a compression test to help make a better seal between the rings, valve seats; does not the pcv oil vapors work in the same way?

VC ==> PCV == Intake
VC ==> catch can ==> PCV ==> Intake
Apparently this is a common mod for the Hemi doods.

Usually it's PCV -> catch can -> intake manifold.
