Nope that elbow that goes through the intake looks exactly like a pcv but the vxs were open from the factory. No guts in them. The story is people would take their vxs to a mechanic, the mechanic would do the old shake test to the pcv valve not knowing they were empty. It would fail the shake test so they would install a pcv valve that had the guts. This is what I've read on this site. I cleaned the guts out of both my lean burn engines. Maybe someone has a known original to confirm. I have 2 spare z1s laying around I'll have to look when I get to work.

Also I believe all civics this generation had that black oil baffle in the back as well as the pcv going up the intake. Only difference was the open pcv valve.
