Default PCV Valve

One of the Facebook gururs( yeah) made a post re changing out the f150 pcv valve with one from a mustang coyote 5.0. Rational is the 150 has a high compression, I think was 12.1.
Any thoughts from those with knowledge,?

I know that PVC stands for PolyVinyl Chloride - a common type of plastic. You mean PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation), and it has absolutely nothing to do with compression or performance. Until you're a better engineer than Ford hires, just trust them and use the right parts for your truck.

Same engineers that have excessive oil consumption issues with the coyote? And it is an oem part

For what purpose is the change being suggested? Why do it?

Something to do with the high compression of the engine
This high performance valve works better than the standard.
