PCV replacement. Pull manifold or not to pull.
Ok so I read that post about the PCV replacement in the how to section.
Seems like it's a major PITA to get to. I am wondering if it will take the same amount to time to remove the top part of the manifold and remove the PCV that way. Thoughts? BW |

Use a crow foot wrench or make one up. Check my old locker for a photo of my wrench.

Re: PCV replacement. Pull manifold or not to pull.
Thoughts point to do not pull your manifold off. It is not required. It will not save you time...you will brake stuff....maybe

Re: PCV replacement. Pull manifold or not to pull.
many brittle and heat worn vacuum lines are quietly waiting for you to disturb there resting place and once disturbed oh how they will break and laugh! I would not pull the mani unless you needed to or wanted to do the thermo spacers. My .02

Yeah do the crows foot wrench thing, dont yank the manifold unless you have all of the needed gaskets for the intake, EGR, and throttle body and lots of vacuum line.

Re: PCV replacement. Pull manifold or not to pull.
I would pull it and replace all those brittle lines that are leaking vacuum in the process. Preventative maintenance.
And be careful to not break any of the craptastic plastic fittings in the process.

Re: PCV replacement. Pull manifold or not to pull.
Just keep an eye out if you drop the old valve. Mine fell and now rests somewhere below the coolant cross-over. I'm sure I'll find it again someday.

touche' if you are mechanically inclined enough, have the money for all the gaskets, and hoses, and take your time that is the best idea! However the easiest is just leave it as is and remove it from the top. |
