YES as long as you don't mind blown front and rear main seals. ;D
NO REALLY do not plug the PCV.
It lets the engine crankcase breath.
Just curious? Why would you want to plug it anyway?
From Pintony
No, you need to have a crankcase vent or you will be blowing the dip stick out.
The other thing that looks like what you are descibing is the the inlet for the "smog pump."
What is the exact size of this mystery part?
A pic would help.
