Part numbers are:
CV769C Left Hand side CV913C Right Hand side And the reason for two PCV valves from Graham Behan: "Well as in most of the stories from the early days of development it is a long'ish one. Yes the system is the way it is based partially on cost. The fresh air recirculation type of system utilizing PCV'S was the way that most GM products were and the way that the LT5 was specified. The problems with this were that with the LT5'S relatively high output coupled with the lack of internal crankcase volume the requirements for the PCV system was very different from the norm . The engine exhibits very different characteristics at part load/no load than it does at WOT, this is true of most engines but the massive blowby at no load required a very different PCV characteristic than the WOT condition. During the development process Allan Nobbs, of Lotus, came up with a variable orifice PCV valve which was well suited to the large changes in the engine. Well after the design was shown at one of our many vendor meetings it was decided that tooling a completely different valve was not on, so the system was changed to the current spec, using two valves with differing characteristics in an attempt to establish a good compromise. We can all see the results, the system actually exhibits reverse flow at WOT." |
