There is a do-it-yourself test that can be done to see if there is
a proper seal.
Remove the PCV vavle from the pass. side valve cover but leave the
valve attached to the hose from the intake manifold.
Remove the breather hose from the driver side valve cover that goes
to the air cleaner.
With the engine idling, place your thumb over the opening where the
PCV valve was located.
After about 10-15 sec., you should feel pressure, which indicates that
the gasket is sealing. If you feel a vacuum, the gasket is leaking
and needs to be repaired.
