That's strange. Neither of my running 8V NA C900's have PCV's in the cylinder head breather line, but since Saab made 8V C900's right up until 1988 or 1989, they might have been fitted on cars made in the last few years for all models (not just those with turbo's)? Just a thought. But the question is then why would a non-turbo 8V engine need a PCV - anyone privy to inside Saab design knowledge of the mid to late 1980's able to shed some light on this? One possibility - the engine might have originally been fitted with a turbo but had it removed even though the PCV was left in. This sounds fairly unlikely but it is a possibility.
