Can I perform the same glove test on a 240 as I can on say a S70/V70?

Should I expect the same results, i.e. glove gets sucked in somewhat, PCV-good, gloves stays out or is blown up, PCV-bad?

Thanks in advance,

Matt

I would not risk having a clove sucked into the cam. There should be some pulsing just from air moving back and forth in the crankcase do to piston movement. If there was significant pressure the dip stick would be popping out.

In a word, yes.

I'd read some merely unsure the oil fill cap, so you can lift it away, yet start the engine. A proper PCV vacuum through the engine sump spaces means the oil fill cap remains on the valve cover without rattle.

I pull the PCV hose off the clean air intake pipe, and remove the small vacuum hose and plug it. Remove the oil fill cap, and blow. Air should travel through the sump and out the oil fill cap hole thingy.

Replace the oil fill cap and secure it. And blow. Should be hard as heck to blow through the engine sump space. (Sealed PCV, breather box to block, rings [maybe?], and well, what the the hell do I know).
