3) the small hole does two things: keep the flow disturbance to a minimum, allow more air flow to the PCV valve.
4) do not restrict the harness air line to the PCV valve, as this *will* change the tuning to the PCV valve, adversely affecting how the system works.

We make PCV valves at work, so do not take this system lightly.

Thanks, Jim!

I will try to find another location!
