need help with vacuum lines

[blk97ta]

please don't think i'm stupid !!!!! but i'm having some questions and problems with the engine ! i tried following the vacuum lines for the PCV valve here's where my issue is . it smokes out of the drivers side valve cover (pcv valve removed breather installed ) not my doing !!!!!! heres what's up : it smokes when i rev it up but once its at a higher rpm the smoke seems to go away ? but if the truck doesn't have an operational pcv valve system would this possibly cause it ? i do not have an air box or crossover tube so i dont have some of the right spots to place vacuum lines ! and the passenger side only has one pcv valve and there isn't any way to recirculate the spent air ????? i just hope this solves my problem !

the breather on the drivers side is a common thing to do and removes one more hose running around in the engine bay...as with the other, you can't do much unless you have the stock stuff or fabricate some way of running into an aftermarket intake....I don't think it would be the "breather" that is causing it to smoke!

Passenger side is supose to have two PCV valves, one goes to TB for vacuum operation and another goes to the air intake for boost operation. The setup on the passenger side is a metal T that plugs into the valve cover. With two rubber elbow that the PCV valve plugs into. The T and rubber elbows are discontinued, another local guy that helped out was missing his PCV valve setup.

Anyways if you pull the oil cap and the air is pushing out it means you have bad piston rings.

Just FYI, here's a shot of the PCV stuff on the passenger side.

The front one (bottom of pic) goes to the crossover tube, and the back one goes to the TB.
