i broke this crank case valve while removing the rats nest...where can i get a replacement??


(broke the small lower tube part off.)



before and after rats nest removal

 

Use the Peejay method. Search peejays posts for PCV valve. He details an alternate way of venting the crankcase. Been meaning to try it myself, just havent gotten around to it.

 

Looks like you need to add some brake fluid, by the way.

 

can i just do this... a filter on the oil filler neck? or does there need to ne vacum?

 

You can vent the center housing like that, but the filler neck needs vacume for proper air circulation.

You need vacuum, but not a boatload. Check out PJ's posts on lung mustard (linked in the FAQ) section. Took more time to find the damn PCV valve at the store than it did to hook it up. Seems to work fine and you can't break the metal PCV like you can the purge valve.

 

If you absolutly want the stock vent thing you show in the pic, I'll send mine to you that I got off an 85. I basically took it with that carb(just plugged it on a hose).

 

If you can't get one off these guys in here. There is always atlantarx7.com. I don't know how close he is to you but it is you neck of the woods. I conversed with him before he has a lot of stuff to help out just email him or call.

 

im gona try to find that valve....can anyone explain it better to me where all the hoses should go with the pcv valve...i read the how to a few times but damn after reading the rast nest removal 200 times and then that everything is just blending together.

atlantarx7 is about 1 to 2 hours away (depending if i drive or if a parent driveS)

and i Should have the tank back on with new fuel pump and fpr by tomorrow so no time to go to atl.

 

Damn, same thign happened to me tonight! Good thing I searched for this...

 

i think with mine i just attached it to a newlyt vacant spot on the intake after my rats nest removal...i dont think you need the valve....atcually.....i may have just added a Y connector and spliced it into an existing line.

 

Well, I don't want lung mustard as they call it.

 

i extremely riged it...i grinded down the rest of the nipple that was there...drilled the hole out a little bit..

then i knock the rivit part off of the nail looking part ( on a new unused rivit )..and press fitted it into the hole and BOOM...new nipple

 

I think I'm just going to use the PCV valve route, cuz it looks extremely simple and effective.

Just out of curiousity, do you have a pic of what you did?

 

Not to mention a car wash

 

Heh, i broke my piece like that yesterday

My engine looked just like that after i took out the rats nest. Its scrary looking. get some degreaser

 

haha, so let's start a poll, who else has broken that little piece?

 

I asked peejay recently which PCV valve he likes to use, and he said:I need an inline one for one of my projects and I'll go check it out at an auto parts store to see if it'll be compatible.
