Talking PCV Local for idiots like me

After I finaly found the location of the PCV valve, I noticed a good pic of it's location so thought I'd post it as a guide.

Hope this helps somebody

If only we could remove that section of the engine like in the drawing, the valve would be much less of a pain to replace.

BTW: When you go to the store, make sure you ask for a *PCV* valve so you don't end up going home with a plumbing fixture.

That is one of my biggest pet peeves. I hate when people say NIC card at work. I always chew them out. Unfortunatly a lot of people these days don't even kow what NIC stands for

Unfortunatly I have said PIN number once or twice in my days. I always feel like an idiot when I let that one slip.

Luckily in Wisconsin we call them Tyme machines and not ATMs so I don't have to worry about that one.
