Just wondering what others have done with their PCV system on the KA24DE as far as the new air-intake rules go? The new rule levied by the CB "suggests" that we disconnect and plug the existing PCV system to comply with the "all air through the throttle-body" rule, but don't we need to have some sort of postive venting on these motors? Should we be required to remove a stock system like this? I'm even wondering if the air in the PCV system can be considered air "entering" the engine?? Isn't it already IN the engine???

"already in the engine"
I think you've got a pretty good point there.
But generally I think most people just run a hose from the PCV to a catch can.

The new rule is to prevent passing air around the throttle body into the intake. You can't plug the air out side of the pcv, only the air intake side. If you plug both, you'll push oil out of the block via dipstick tube or the easies place for the crankcase to vent built up pressure.
