    is pcv supposed to be air tight?

    i was also under the impression that it was supposed to be a 1 way valve. pvc-001 which is the aftermarket replacement for the ls1 doesn't seal at all. it restricts airflow but doesn't seal completely. I thought maybe i had a faulty valve but they're all like that. If someone can confirm that...

    is pcv supposed to be air tight?

    I can confirm that running the old genuine pcv has sorted my vacuum issue out. But very confused. Pcv001 is the part number specified for ls1 and 5.0. i have read that gm had an alternative version that was a different design that actually does have a controlled air leak for low vacuum cam...

    is pcv supposed to be air tight?

    I have 2 replacement pcv valves for an ls1. part number pcv-001. 1 is brand new , the other was on the car. both are leaking air if i blow through them like a controlled leak. the old genuine one i have is airtight sometimes. Is pcv-001 the correct part for an ls1? is it supposed to have a...

    VS not starting

    That's an awesome link, it's a shame that it has so many ads. My problem ended up being the new dfi module. No idea why, but these new delphi ones are trash. Its the second faulty one theyve sent me. First one had a dud pin. Can't win lol

    VS not starting

    Yeah pretty much that's all I can think of I've got no codes and it didn't do anything other than the thermo fans. I've got 12v at the dfi with the ignition on. Not sure how to test the cam or crank sensor, but I feel I would have a code if they were no good?

    Nah, I but I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter on vs as bcm and pcm arent linked.

    Yeah I have an l67 ecu. I didn't change my bcm but. I didn't think that was required. It's was running but. I was logging at the time.

    VS not starting

    i have an l67 conversion ive been working on. Ive been logging data, just idling in the driveway because I've got a bit of a misfire. it does this thing where the engine starts to get a bit warm (even if it goes over 100deg). the fans wont kick in so i turn the car off and back on for the fans...

    Caliper pistons

    Thanks for the replies, yeah i was going to use my old pistons as a last resort. The pistons came part of a kit. i was just skeptical of the size difference between the 2 parts. Im wondering if anyone has used them before and if the part is interchangeable like they say

    Caliper pistons

    Hi guys, I've been trying to order some pistons for my front calipers (for my vx) and I seem to be a bit confused, I believe the part number is K272-020 (Diameter: 42mm / Height: 43.7mm), I've been supplied with part number K272-040(Diameter: 41.9mm / Height: 44.5mm) which I think is to suit BA...

    Charcoal cannister vent valve

    thanks guys. After a bit more reading overnight, i was able to work out that the purge solenoid in the engine bay is basically the check valve for the system. Air is drawn through the vent port so no valve in the cannister itself. Definitely time for a smoke test

    Charcoal cannister vent valve

    Hi all, just diagnosing a vacuum leak on a vx ls1. I was having a look at the charcoal cannister and i was wondering if anyone knows if youre supposed to be able to blow air into the vent valve? Or is my valve stuck open? Does anyone know the way to test the vent valve? is there even a valve...
