    So as i was putting my new engine together i was noticing that there is an extra breather type hole in the top if the 2.5 block in comparrison to the 2.0.
    i might be able to take a picture of it tomorrow but it looks like it might hook up to a vacuum line like the bigger one near it, but im not sure.
    anyone know what i am talking about?

    thanks
    Kevin

    Its for the PCV system. You can plug it, or you can run it. Do whatever.

    its another crankcase vent. you can do one of two things.. plug it or tee it off of the other vent. i plugged mine when i built my motor with no problems whatsoever.

    thats exactly what i wanted to hear, i had a feeling that was it. i will probly just plug it instead of going through the hassle of trying to tee it in somewhere.
