Yes, I am referring to the slower noise that sounds like a constant churn.

my pcv valve on the valve cover does that. but i have cams and the low vac makes it do that.... maybe you need to replace that little valve?

that could seriously be a possibility considering i have a dump hose from the pcv valve routed to the ground. (so i dont get grime in the intake manifold)

yea, its just a check valve with a little ball and spring, and since i have low vacuum it rattles alot. i kinda want to know if it can be removed and just use the one on the intake pipe, cause its super annoying on my car!
