Message without them and not having issues with doing it. While I understand that there are other considerations such as those you have presented, those considerations are not in and of themselves proof of fact that eliminating the PCV system is a major contributing factor to any of those considerations.
Anything can be scrutinized from a purely theoretical standpoint but I am sure you will agree that empirical testing provides a much better foundation to draw conclusions on.
I'm not saying to eliminate PCV on all vehicles. All I am saying is that through my experience with eliminating it from the VG, I have found no drawbacks and nothing but benefits.
