Engine PCV Valves...

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...

wow that was fast lol...
ok then... I thought the 1ZZ-FE used only one of those thingies...
when I did a lil more detailed search on the net, the engined appeared to have spawend another one just to make me go to the part-vendors and curse at to have to buy another one... thanks again ^^

What year do you have? There are two for 98-02's.

I know one that comes out on the right side of cam cover, where is the other?

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.

I bought one for two bucks and change..whatever the local discount auto place happened to have. It works fine.

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

yeah, same with my '96.

well, after fitting the correct pcv valve (damned catalog said 1066, and it was model 1064)
my car idles at a lower rpm ^^.
next up... MAF sensor...

Who's part # is it? 'Help' or other brand?

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 ^^)
