Can adding a PCV allow your motor to run cooler?

Someone else may chime in on this one, but PCV meaning positive crankcase ventilation allows the engine to basically "ventilate"...usually pvc valve is opened by carb vacuum and the opposite side has a pcv "breather"  which, from the factory has a hose connecting to the air cleaner assembly.  I don't believe there would be any significant engine "cooling" properties by adding a second valve...just more vapor evacuation from the crankcase itself.
