    About ten years ago I had a fuel pump replaced on a Ford E150 van. The indy said we have to use an expensive Ford pump or you will have problems. He said they tried after market pumps and the cars always came back.

    PCV System Question

    The PCV valve routes blow by gases from the crankcase to the intake to be burned. It's a closed system, I don't see where you think fresh air is coming in.
