the pcv is under full vacuum and boost pressures chris (ranging from -1 to +1 bar)
the breather on the other end of the cam cover is only under crank case pressure and airfilter vacuum tho (far lower pressures)
i just vent that low pressure pipe to the corner of the engine bay (to monitor any oil spray if a ringland ever lets go
Sorry to jump on this for my own personal gain, but jus read all this stuff bout the pcv valve whatchamacallit,,........can I jus plumb mine into my vacuum log/block thing?
At the moment it's jus going to atmosphere

Grind it back that'll reveal the true answer to how well its welded

Like Andy said, unless you can clearly see a smooth transition between plate-weld-plate then only grinding back will reveal how much penetration there is
