[FC] PCV/vent tube/balance tube

I think there is an orifice in the balance tube where the Tee is.  Pull the
hose off and look.
If it is missing, you are right, you will need an orifice.  Find something
that will go in the hose that you can drill a small hole in.  Golf tee,
piece of plastic, end of a ball point pen?

Thanks for the reply but none of the tubes I've seen used with pcv valves
had the small metered orfice.  Only the ones without the pcv valves had the
metered orfice.. The crankcase vent tube has one branch going to the air
cleaner and a large branch going to the balance tube (pcv or metered
orfice).  I'm still confused!!!
