pistonbroke Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Got home from work today a bit early, so I thought I'd wack my new PCV valve on. I pulled the old one off easliy enough, then, when it came to removing the plastic gromit thing in the cam cover that the valve sits in. The outer part broke off being all brittle with age, and the rest fell into the engine........cam covers off then Edited March 9, 2010 by pistonbroke (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Nah, it'll just be sitting next to the cam, there's nowhere for it to go. It means I can't run it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Now I'm forced to take the cam covers off, I've been putting it off to pay someone else to do it Two issues I had when I tried it last time. The bastard bolts at the back were blocked by a pipe which I didn't want to remove, now I'll have to. The other is the loom that has the wires for the coil pack coming off it, the big one that goes over (just behind) the cam shaft sprockets would not move an inch last time I tried to lift it off. I didn't want to force it in case something broke.........I've no choice now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Job done Had a mare with the metal pipe at the back, ended up just taking the whole thing off rather than wrestle with it. Dude was right, the baffle is below the PCV valve hole so the rubber was sitting at a little box section that I managed to fish out with needle nose pliers.
