Re: Advice on replacing PCV valve?
Swapped it out, bout to go test it out. Two things I noticed: First, I didn't realize how up high it mounts to the back of the motor. The old one had fallen out a while ago, and was hanging out with coolant and vacuum lines still attached down near the exhaust manifolds, about a foot lower than where I found its attaching hole. When looking around on the back of the crankcase, I was looking down there for it. Finally found it wayyyy up high on the back on the driver side. Does this sound right? Picture to follow.
Second, When I threaded the new one in, it seemed kinda loose. I remember reading on older models that there's some kind of grommet. Is it possible I'm missing this? Or maybe the thread is worn away in a bad way? Because if you look on a brand new PCV valve, it has that single spiral thread to thread it in place. And while I was able to do this, when I had the new one in place it had a good amount of wiggle room. Thoughts?
