Yes you do need to run the PCv valve. I didn't put one in and just blocked the hole in the valve covers off and the cap has no breather while I finished building. Well I messed up bad. Didn't pay attention and built up pressure in the motor and blew out the oil pan gasket. My own fault. And all I was doing was going from the grage out and back several times and running the motor just to keep it lubed up properly.
