Re: oil leak on top of motor

PCV valve was a huge PITA. I think mine was overtightened, or the aluminum fused with the metal, but there was no way I was getting mine off without the manifold off and some major elbow grease. A side benefit: the SVX runs happier with less vacuum leaks after replacing the brittle/cracked hoses . Really long needlenose pliers go a long way in this project.
