One last question

[Skoobie]

Ok Ive got the upper intake back on but Im getting a vacuum leak at the PCV valve. Before I put it back together I pulled the plug that holds the PCV screen in place so I could clean the screen. When I put it all back together I didnt use any sort of adhesive so now its sucking air in around the plug. What kind of sealer should I use to put the plug back in?

just use a bit of silicone.......hotwheels of turborides

I have never used any type of sealer. May just be time for a new grommet. They get old and the rubber hardens over time then doesn't like to seal well.

also, even when new, if one uses an aftermarket PCV valve, it might not fit perfectly. this is one time when i pay a bit more for dealer parts. do it once and forget it for a couple years.

good luck.

I have pulled the grommet and with the grommet in my hand inserted the pcv valve. After the assembly is complete (you know what i mean) wrap some electrical tape around the outside diameter of the grommet a coulple times very tightly and then work the grommet/pcv valve into the hole...fit should be very snug. I second the whole using dealer parts in this case, they just seem to fit better.
