PCV valve removal

[Turbizmo]

I was just wondering if anything will happen if I take off the pcv valve and on the valve cover i put a breather and on the intake manifold i just tap it off. The reason why i am trying to do this is because on the side of my valve cover where i recently have a breather it leaks alot of oil and i dont want to get a oil catch can. i want the oil leaks to stop or can i buy me a metal pcv valve from another car and use it instead of using the cheap plastic ones they sell?

You don't wanna take out your pcv valve, a lot of people do it, but it's not good. The pcv is there to vent out crankcase pressure, and without a vacuum line hooked into the intake manifold there will be nothing pulling out the pressure, just go to a mistu dealer and buy one for like $5, they're metal and last a lot longer than autozone's or wherever.

If they're the same size then you should be fine. Just make sure you get a OEM one otherwise you'll be buying another one next month.
