There is also a line from the top of the valve routed under the side of the engine to a small brass fitting that is not hooked up to anything...?
Should I just clean and replace this fitting or get a different PCV and where does the end of this line hook up?
Yes I have a Merc factory manual but it does not show this...thanks for any direction.
If I am not mistaken, that is just a ventilator. The other valve cover should have the pcv valve.
Don't know about the other end either. If I get a chance I will look at my motor, although, I don't remember that fitting from the rebuild.
