Hey everyone, I have an '85 F-150 with the inline 6 engine. I've noticed quite a bit of oil leaking and I also discovered lots of moisture in the oil. A friend suggested that I replace the PCV valve. I'm a bit confused as to where it should be located. In the picture I have what I think is the PCV valve, but someone else has said that is the crankshaft breather? Also the replacement PCV valve is at a 90 degree angle and has two ports, whereas this is straight and only has one? Any help would be appreciated!

 

What in the world is a crankshaft breather? I've never seen or heard of any such thing.

Some of these valves have a plastic connector with one or two ports, it can be pulled off if not required.

EOTZ-6A666-A .. PCV (Motorcraft EV-111).

Applications that apply to your truck: 1980/81 E/F100/250 & Bronco 300 I-6 except Canada / 1982/91 F100/150, Bronco & E/F250 300 I-6 under 8,500 lbs. GVWR

 

Is it me or did the picture not show up?


Some of the PCV have 2 nipples (out of the gutter guys!) but only 1 is open to hook to the carb.
The 2nd one can be opened (drilled out as it is only plastic) and is part of the emission system from what I have seen posted.
Check the sticker on the radiator support as it has the hose routing and would show if the 2nd fitting is used or not.
