Review on πŸ”§ Enhance Engine Performance with Beck Arnley 045-0272 PCV Valve by David Merculief

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not as easy as you think, maybe

Mechanical experience required: Intermediate to Advanced (depending on my car). Some are lucky enough to have this thing just sit on their valve cover = NO MECHANICAL EXPERIENCE NEEDED: Unfortunately mine sits under the injectors on the intake manifold. Wow! This article should come with a disclaimer. Useful advice for those changing it on their 90 year old Integral. If this has never been modified on your vehicle. There's no way it's going to come loose without breaking the bushing that's stuck to the intake manifold (yes, that valve is "built-in" to the intake manifold). just tear everything apart. You will need to remove the air intake hose and possibly a few other small hoses to install this. Well after hours of trying to remove the rest of the valve (the bottom black piece) I just ripped everything out. I got a new hose, not sure what size, and just plugged it straight in, no grommet. NEVER use SILICONE on this part. Read the link below for helpful information. There is a helpful article on how to change it and a # part for the jack if you want to get one. It took me hours to find this useful information. (link below) I don't know if posting links is bad, so I highlighted them. just remove spaces.ww w. tegger. com/hondafaq/pcv-replace/REASON for 3 stars. This is an inflated price and has not been defended. It came in an envelope and the box was mishandled. I ended up buying it at an auto parts store for less than $2.

Pros
  • Faithful form, fit and function
Cons
  • Negative present
