Default Finally got in to replace the remaining two PCV components yesterday...

First off let me tell you guys that it is absolutely easier to just remove the Intake Manifold to do this job.

It's like this. Would you rather spend 3 hours cussing and cutting your hands up doing it the hard way, or spend three hours doing it the easy way?

First off, it seems to be clear that my injector seats are leaking...is there anything I can do about it? I went ahead and cleaned them out that way I can monitor the leakage from here on out...

I took a picture to replace the one in the FAQ that clearly show the area and what a leaky PCV can do. the plastic pipe was actually broken. You can see the heavy amount of oil in the middle of the pipe between the bend and the T-connection.

I have already replaced the PCV Valve, the pipe that goes up the the Suction Jet Pump, the Suction Jet Pump, L-hose, 90 hose, Pancake valve, and the 3 way PCV hose out of the head. The only things I haven't replaced are the check valves. however, I inspected all of them and none seem to be cracked or have holes in them (like I have seen many others).

All in all it was good to get back into the engine bay. I haven't done any serious work on my car in a while and I was getting to thinking I forgot what to do...but once I got in there I remembered everything that I needed to pull the IM out of there in under 1/2 hour...

Default Wow...more proof of the idiotic design of the pcv system on these cars..

Is there an "upgrade" available or tips to make the obviously poorly designed pcv system a bit more robust ?
