Mitsubishi Twin Turbo 3000gt VR4 Krank Vent PCV valve replacement

I think my pcv valve is sticking (dip stick popped out) and was wondering if anyone has done this and if it works?

You mean Krank Vents? Do a search, many people have used and discussed them in the past.

I looked into these and PCVs a lot and my PERSONAL opinion is to just use a known good stocker.

I've heard (remember I've only heard this, no facts) that they cause more harm than good because of the constant vacuum in the crankcase. After hearing this I started seeing how some people only use one valve which really does the same thing as the stock system and realized the stock setup works pretty well (when functioning). A lot of people also use Supra PCV valves because they're supposedly stronger. I've even seen these sold on eBay as "generic krankvents".

hey that kits makes it so that the pvc only goes one way so theres less pressure in the cylinders so you dont have lots of pressure in the crank case ive also hear it makes your car stop smoking if it does or reduce the amount

stop smoking? how?? wont that do the same if you replace a defective pcv with a new stock replacement?

becuase if theres a leak in on of your piston rings where oil leaks threw theres less of the harmfull pressure against it so it doesnt smoke as much.
I read that on a website that made those kits of a 3000.
