PCV valve replacement.

[denalianyone]

I have an 08 Lade I and my stethoscope led me to believe my PCV valve is bad. It's making a ticking sound coming from that area. I'm not sure if it's a result from the catch can. I'm gonna replace the valve yet not sure if it's pressed in or just sitting on the top of the valve cover?

Should be a press-in fit into a rubber grommet, at least they are on a NBS.

You don't need to do that- it just pushes in by hand. Grab the hose that connects to it and pull, the valve should pop out.

I thought that the 07-14 had the PCV system built in to the valve cover?

I stand corrected. And that sucks. I just replaced mine for $2.50 and it took less than 5 minutes. What a ****** design change.

Exactly 5 minute job to a 20 min give or take.

And how much $$? OE looks like $95. Could go Dorman and save $20 but still that's a lot for a damn PCV valve.
