  • Need help with PCV install on 3.8

    I was wondering if someone can give me a step by step instruction on how to install it.

    Haynes didn't explain much. You guys could do a better job.

    Thank You in advance.

    i did this like 3 years ago but i'll go from what i remember...

    on the upper intake plenum(sp?) there is a diamond shaped cover with two screws... unscrew them. dnt remember the size.. then you pull it out.. ditch the old pcv valve, keep the spring. then put the new pcv valve in the spring how the old one was. clean around the endges of where the plate was.. get some hightemp rtv, and then put it back in and screw the plate shut.

    its pretty strait forward

            by rattle i mean was loose inside the hole it goes in

            (the pcv itself is supposed to rattle, thats what indicates its good(not clogged))
