Filter pcv

Ok I posted this on my build thread but I have been reading adopt about how your pcv valve not being connected or whatever can cause a lean condition I just put a small filter on what I think is the pcv unit the small red filter with blue top.how would I reroute this to where it would be hooked up or is this good the way it is



Sorry for this question but I don't want to f up my motor because I didn't ask

and if that is attached to the intake hose it's also not a good idea whatsoever.

with breather filters your gonna get alot of opinions on this like alot of other mods. Kinda like whether or not to do an EGR delete.

personally I don't like em. too many side effects for something that "looks good"

But then again, Jerry knows I don't care if something looks good as long as it works. lol.

Oh yeah, speaking of keeping a PCV hooked up, that oil pan leak is still holding good, and my PCV and breather lines are hooked back up. lol.

Yes I unhooked mine but for a short time till I fixed a leaking oil pan gasket that was causing a vacuum leak. I'd rather unhook it as the side effects of that out weigh a vacuum leak in my mind.
