On the 216 the vents in the valve cover is where the the system gets its make up air. In thru the cover thru the engine down thru the engine, then out the pvc set up to the intake manifold to be burned.

The pcv hose goes in the can and passes some nickel balls or selica gel granulat that seperates out the gunk bevor the unburned gases feed back in the engine. I was told it saves a great amount of gas to.
As soon as I solved the heat problem on my 235 I try that out.
