How much are the service manuals though? People just grab the Autozone literature because it's a nice reference on how to tear your car apart for a small amount of cash.
If it turns out to be a lot, I'd suggest going into the service bay and poke around your car, like I always do, while the mechanic is working on your car. Ask him, "Are these the service manuals for my car?" Then, "OMG! WTF is THAT!?!?!?" ****** and run!
Back on the subject, I was reading that there is the correct way, and the incorrect way of deleting the PCV. One way calls for just yanking the hose, plugging it up, and using breather valves. Another calls for valve cover replacement to prevent oil from being vented, and two other ways that involve a "bypass" system where you either insert a
K&N fuel filter in the line, or use a "drip can" to catch the oil in.
The draw backs for the breathers, seems to be a nasty smell when cranking A/C not at max because "not max" draws in air from the engine bay, whereas max recycles the air. Valve cover replacement with the corrected baffles in place /should/ fix the problem, but is probably the most expensive way to go (BTW - why doesn't Ford offer up a free recall on this!?!?!), and the other two bypass systems - one I don't need another filter to worry about, or a damned can I gotta check all the time and dump out!
What do you all suggest on this topic as I'm planning on cleaning out my engine some day soon (injectors, MAF, etc.)?
