PVC Valve Opps

PVC Valve Opps
Hey gang. I need some advice about the replacement of the PVC grommet and the valve. I bought both to replace. The grommet was a bit shredded since I tried to pry out the pvc valve so I had to buy one. Well, I started to install both, the Valve and the grommet, grommet first. It did not fit too well, so I tried putting the grommet over the valve and stick it in the hole but did not work out to well. I may not be applying enough pressure for both to fit. Thought it was the valve being to large and as a whole can not fit in the hole. Any thoughts??? I need to get this in. I will upload a digital pic later today.
Me...help!!!!

Yeah. I got mine at autozone too. The grommet is from the stealership. Not a bad purchase though, however, did some damage to the grommet. Once back in place it should not be a problem. Just looks really bad in its place and its at least 1/2 inch out of position where is sits. That could just contribute to poor gas mileage right now. I will work on it while the engine is warm since the rubber just might slip into place due to heating the rubber grommet. Wish me luck and thanks.

How can you say you've 'never heard of it' when you then state that your old one had a grommet?
The grommet sits in the valve cover, it's not normally removed unless you damaged it and are replacing it. Yes, you need the grommet; that's the only thing holding the PCV valve in place (aside from the hose on top).

I had the same replacement,
Got the grommet from autozone and had the PCV valve ordered. When your installing, (its not too difficult) find a socket that is big enough to fit around the entire PCV valve head once the grommet has already been installed and just press with the torque wrench attached for extra leverage. It takes ALOOTTTT of force to get it in, Put your body into it.
if your have a strut bar or anything in the way, like the throttle cables, MOVE EM. its worth it.'
work smarter, not harder. Good luck!
