hannibal64 Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Just trying to check everything cause i dont think its a head gasket. I think its more like a vaccum leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95oldsVan Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 If I remember,it should be screwed into a valve cover...pull one of the hoses off and theyre should be a plastic knob that can screw off and the pcv will be inside there...then again I might be thinking of the other 4 cylinder.

hannibal64 Posted April 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 dunno i took pics of what my friend says shows i have a bad head gasket thsi is what it looke like in my vac hoses running from the head. There is not a lot in there but there is some. And again no oil in coolant and no coolant in oil.. pluss i noticed when the idles rough it seems to want to lose vacum. brake lines get stiff and such.

mihela816 Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 There is no PCV on the Quad 4. The black thing on the intake manifold is an oil/air seperator. Head gaskets are a common problem on these engines, I'd suggest you do a compression check to see if that is the problem. It could also be something like a cracked head.
