Oreo931 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Not sure why you need to get under the car to do the PCV replacement.I have done mine 3 times (long story).First time took me a long long time (6-8 hours?).Second time took me 2.5 hours, 3rd time took me 1.5 hours.

sconeman Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 be prepared to scrape your knuckles taking off the manifold and dipstick brackets. Get yourself a magnetic 10mm wobble, and a magnet wand for when you drop the passenger side 10mm bolt down between the alternator and the block. then you'll be all set.

I think the first time around you'd have to take it off otherwise you'd have no idea what what goes where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
