Some folks say the Wagner dual flow PCV helped with their leaky engine because it ensures the crankcase is under vacuum at all times. Other folks say it's snake oil. At $130 it's a little of an expensive gamble. That said, I run one because I picked it up when I was grasping at straws trying to solve my leak problem.

I saw that piece when someone posted about it, maybe it was you. Did you need the adapter to run it in the valley pan?

Yes. They have a kit specifically for a Pontiac. It kicks the price up another $30.

The more cost effective thing to try might be to find an NOS PCV valve which apparently flow better than the modern replacements.
