Even with that being the case I still feel safe to say that with the number of miles I've already tested these engines in this configuration I have no reason to believe the removal of the PCV system is detrimenting the longevity of our engines, in fact, I can just as speculatively argue that it is good for them just as much as anyone can argue against removing it. One thing I do have is the experience of using it over long enough durations of time to see that there are other more significant factors to be worried about.
