Default HO valve cover on a renix?
Has anybody done this? I have an HO valve cover with PCB valve in it. I was wondering if anybody has done this so i can hook the PCV valve to intake vacuum to draw crank case pressure out instead of it pushing itself out.

HO didn't have a PCB or PCV valve. Only CCV fittings kinda like a REnix.

If I remember right, my 1991 yj had a pcv valve. That's the only reason I was asking if anyone had done this

Okay. Thank you for the correction cruiser. I trust your knowledge. I guess what I was meaning to ask is there any way to get the front intake port tied into some sort of vacuum?

Actually the rear port is the vacuum and the front port is the filtered air coming in from the air filter assembly.

Until you hit throttle the suction from throttle body draws crankcase pressure out under no/low vacuum situation thru front of valve cover.

So this elbow is what pulls air in from the air box?

Why not just keep the Renix cover and replace the hoses?
