Does SC and 3.2 have a PCV valve?
Hello all:
I am trying to figure out whether the SC or 3.2 engines have a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve. If so, where is it hiding?! Thank you! Zack

Not really. The crankcase is vented back to the oil tank. Not many cars on the road have a dry sump setup with a oil tank in the fender. No real need for a PVC valve.

What he said, One of the nice things about a dry sump engine. No need for a PCV valve, CCV canister or AOS (failure prone on the watercooled 911s) to worry about, just a rubber hose going to the oil tank.

The 3.2 has a PCV next to the oil fill but the 3.0 doesn't

Just to add, in the later cars, the crankcase ventilation changed somewhat. The older 911's vent to the oil tank and then back into the air cleaner. The later cars had an electronic valve that vented (I think) back into the engine until it warmed up and then vented into the air cleaner once operating temperature was reached. Someone may correct me if I got that wrong.
