PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) is what you want. If you run a straight hose and have a backfire situation you could blow the valve covers right off the engine. I have seen this.
Any constant vacuum source.
on thepass side of the transmission pan.it has a hose connected to it.
if its a 350 remove alt. first
You do have to remove 1 of them, either 1.
u just have to remove the valve and have a piece of aluiminum cut and bolt it down. block the vacuum hose to the solinoid and live with the check engine light being on
You'll need a valve spring compresser, compress the spring down, toward the head then remove the retainers and the valve should slip right out.
driverside valve cover toword firewall.
Follow the top radiator hose back to the engine. The radiator hose connects to a housing that is bolted to the intake manifold. Remove the radiator hose the remove the two bolts that hold down the housing and the thermostat is right there.
Remove the valve cover and you will see it stamped into the top of the head.
how do you set valve on 1998 350 vortec
That is called a heater control valve. When you are not using your heater, vaccume closes a small valve that's in the control valve and stopes the water from going through the heater core. Therefore you get no heat inside of the cab.
Just follow the top radiator hose to were it clamps onto the engine, That will be the thernostat housing, just remove that housing and it will be right there. You will need to drain engine coolant first. MAKE SURE ENGINE IS COLD. That is if the engine is a 5.7L 350. If it is something other then a 5.7L 350. Then the thermostat will be were the lower radiator hose clamps onto the engine, That will be the thermostat housing, remove it. If it is a V6 engine then it will be at the end of the top hose, just like the 350 engine.
