    PCV Valves...

    What brands are good?
    what are excellent almost infinite life?

    what are the ones to avoid like a plague?

    any tips?

    many thanks ^^

    well there is really only one choice in the city where I live, and it's the Canadian tire brand. put it on and it snapped in half, So I cleaned the shit out of my original one and it's fine.
    There isnt much to them in the 93-97 ones (dont know about other years). basically just a plastic housing with 2 springs and a metal rod inside. springs were good in mine, so I just cleaned it really good (plastic safe solvents and compressed air) and put it back on.

    hahaha...

    :)

    It's just a vent, no more than $10 a peice. They'll last about 24k mi. I usually change it once a year. I haven't heard of any new ground breaking developments in PCV valve technology...

    Yeah you may be able to clean in also...

    Thats it, the engine uses only one pcv valve. There are two different valves made for 98-02s. I think the only real difference is the nut size is different, same threads and everything. I matched mine, even though the other would probably work.

    98`02s have 2 holes... the front one is a plain breather... the other one in the side is the PVC valve...

    well, the website was correct, but the book sure as hell it wasn't... purolator www.pureoil.com

    PV1064 the whole model # it is

    (the pv1066 was the 1zz-FE WITH vvt-i, so it wouldn't even fit ^^)
