I have had trouble getting the road draft tube to stop leaking. I have a block off plate to eliminate the road draft tube but what will I need to do to when this is eliminated ?

Could you install a PCV in the cover where the old draft tube was? .....Seems like the lower the better?The simple answer is No. There is just too much oil being misted around in the lower end of the crankcase to keep oil out of a PCV valve that has its inlet side located down low. Simple physics will dictate having the PCV valve inlet at the top side of the engine due to heated air rising to the top and any residual moisture that’s in the air also being carried to the top with that same heated air. It’s also desirable to keep the line as short as possible between the PCV valve to the intake or carb connection.
