PCV valve mod
I'm looking to do the PCV valve mod, but every thread links to "Steve's PCV valve mod" thread and the link to the pic is dead. Anyone done this on the 3VZE that can take a pic for me?
Thanks!
Trevor

the only PCV valve mod I've ever seen was the oil catch-can craze that sweeped through here about 6 months back... haven't heard much about it since, lol

If you search "Steve's PCV valve mod" it gives a vague description, but leaves the bulk of the explanation through photo, which no longer exists... You can see the dilemma... But any information--like pictures--would be awesome.

But, all I did was bookmark the same page. I tried to do this once, when I was adjusting the valves, but could not find a right angle fitting that would work for me in the PCV grommet.

Now that is more like it! Thank you OutlawMike, that fills in the details. Good thing I have to replace my valve cover gaskets next week, I won't feel bad tearing off the intake plenum just to do this. Might as well take off the EGR while I'm at it...

I put in a new valve and grommet when I do the timing belt--5 years or so. It's a good interval to replace the valve cover gaskets and check valve clearances so the plenum is coming off anyway. This makes getting to the upper idler pulley much easier also. I've never had a problem with the PCV with a 5-year change interval.

This one looks pretty cool. Not sure where to find it though. Maybe custom fabricated. I would have personally put a clamp on the end of the hose but perhaps the tension is enough.. Looks like it would be much easier to switch out.
