Review on πŸ”§ Enhance engine performance with the Beck Arnley 045-0352 Positive Crankcase Ventilation Valve by Phil Casey

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Just spend the extra cash on an OEM Honda PCV

I installed this Beck/Arnley PCV in my 1.7 liter Civic for a scheduled service and it immediately made a noise like that at idle what I would call cricket noise. . Almost like a slightly loose belt or a bad bearing in an alternator or power steering pump. Replaced this with a new OEM Honda PCV and the noise was gone. Beck/Arnley usually has a good inventory of auto parts and often repackages genuine parts, but not in this case. It also has a gold color while the original Honda looks like zinc or shiny silver. They make the carving the same as the original as far as it fits. Maybe I just got a bad one but decided to spend the extra money on an OEM rather than risking another.

Pros
  • Quality construction for durability
