Let's see:
1. You take out the old PCV.
2. Replace that with En-Valve
3. Block/Cap off the inlet hose to the air-cleaner...no longer used
4. I was experiencing a quart of blow by every month. There was NO blue smoke ever in my tailpipe.

Thanks, exactly what I needed. But I still wonder, when the engine is run at high load condition when there is no vacuum, how does the blowby escape when the inlet is capped? Have you ever experienced any problems with the envalve? Has the cap or oil fill cap ever blown out? And lastly, how much did this increase your mpg?

I think you should allways have "some" vaccumm. Running at 65 - 70 mph for a length of time on the highway, I still see 5+ to 10 on the vaccumm gauge.
