Post subject:  PCV chatter--Why?

I was working on my &5 Duster the other day and noticed that the PCV valve was chattering. I pulled it out of the VC and plugged the hole with my thumb. It smoothed out the idle and stopped the chatter. I now have it plugged off, but why does it do this? Is this normal(I do not think it would be)? What would cause this? It is a new Fram PCV Valve, the carb is a Holley 2brl on a Super Six manifold. It runs real nice at idle now with it plugged.
Whats up?

I would suspect that the vacuum is not constant to the PCV valve. I have seen this when there is a bad intake valve that allows compression to leak past the valve and push the PCV valve closed.

The strange thing is that it does this with the PCV valve out of the valve cover.

Of course, the pressure that makes it chatter comes from the carb if there is a valve problem. Do a compression check.

This happened to a buddy of mine. He has a '64 Dodge convert with a 300 HP 360 crate motor. He went to the parts store and looked thru the parts books and found another pcv valve with a different spring, and it cured the problem. If I can remember to ask him, I'll find out the application.

If Fram's build quality and quality control on their PCV valves is as poor as it is on their oil filters...then a quick and easy change to a Mopar PCV valve might clear it up.

PCV valves are a crap shoot these days. I went through three trying to stop the chatter. Finally found an old metal style off a slant in the junkyard. Put it in now no more chatter.

Had the same noise. Cheap PCV valve-try a different brand. Fixed it.
