Next dumb question - PCV valve

The online parts place only listed one PCV valve for the SVX, covering all years 92-97 (I have a 94). The PCV valve they sent me is the wrong one! The threaded end is larger than the hose connecting end, whereas the one from my intake manifold is larger on the hose connecting end than the threaded end. I could probably live with that, even though I'd have to do something about the hose to mate the two up tightly; but the threaded end is too large to thread into my manifold.

The part number they sent me is 11810AA100. Do I return it, or do I drill out my intake to make it fit?

I would not drill out my intake to make it fit. Ther PCV valve is an $8 part.

Re: Next dumb question - PCV valve

Problem solved. Top is the wrong one, bottom is the right one. Note the proximity of the part numbers...

Re: Next dumb question - PCV valve

Out of curiousity I went and got the part number for the 92 - PCV...
11821AA370 , a complete different number than wdb. So are there now at least 3 different PCV's?
