PCV requires the valve, connected to intake vacuum (typically at the base of the carb), plus a breather "on the other side" (wherever that happens to be) - and while an open breather will function, most smog specs say that it has to be plumbed into the air cleaner housing so that fumes will be pulled in and burned.
The problem is that I don't have any way to do a halfway job - with unvented valve covers, there's no place to put a breather and a PCV valve.
I suppose I could just bulldoze the BAR check, but the word is that no one's getting past the PCV requirement in recent months. It apparently used to be more hit and miss.
