20130118460 | Plate Assembly for Positive Crankcase Ventilation System - A positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) plate system is disclosed that provides for expanded operation on a vehicle engine. The PCV system, in an embodiment, comprises a PCV plate, cap, and adapter plug. The PCV plate may have three orifices that may align with and securely mount over ports on an engine valve cover. One orifice on the PCV plate may be fitted with the adapter plug to allow attachment of a block breather hose or other hose, while two other orifices may allow attachment of the cap or catch cans. The cap may be installed over two orifices on the PCV plate. Crankcase vapors, for example, may then enter one orifice, flow through the cap and out through a second orifice, allowing the vacuum from a turbocharger, for example, to draw crankcase vapors into the intake manifold. | 05-16-2013 |
