Default PCV Valve
Has anyone here changed their PCV valve?

It looks like a simple R/I procedure but I just wanted to ask around before I dug myself a hole.

TIA

It is pretty easy, and it took me less than a minute

Anyone know if anyone has put a catch can in line with their PCV system? I really dont like the idea of paying for premium gas only to have my octane lowered by the oil being sucked into the intake.

The f-body guys do the catch cans. I think a few truck guys have too. Have you tried the orificed PCV valve?
