IS it difficult to tune the adjustable PCV valve?
The Wagner DF-17 is a dual circuit PCV.
One for idle the other for cruise.
Should take no more then about 30 minutes after reading instructions.
You will need a good vacuum gauge to set it up correctly.

Some guys just put a breather on each side of the engine and no PCV.
This works but also then there is NO vacuum to pull combustion contaminants
out of the engine. For racers this is not an issue as the motor is torn down
frequently anyways.

Others with the room to do so, use a belt driven vacuum pump.
