How do you tell when your PCV valve needs replacement?
If you need one, where do you get it and about how much? I've checked Pelican and GPR, but can't find one. I haven't called Brad yet, but I know he can get anything. I'm just curious how much they cost. They aren't much for a Honda at my FLAPS, but I doubt they would have one for a 914. |

should be able to clean yours and as long as it does not leak be all set, it simply unscrews from the oil filler housing.
We have new ones but they are expensive How do you tell when your PCV valve needs replacement? If you need one, where do you get it and about how much?

We have new ones but they are expensive I tried cleaning it, but I think mine is sticking and/or worn and messing up my idle. I tried to order one from AA, but it looks like they're out of stock and they are NLA. Anybody got a current source for a PCV valve? Thanks. |

I have cleaned and replated ones for $25 shipped. Bruce Awesome! Thanks! I sent you a message to set up the order. How do you "replate" them? The case looks like it can't be opened... @bdstone914 Well, I understand now what you mean by "replated". I got a shiny yellow-zinc-(re)plated anti-flashback valve in the mail today. Thanks. It looks beautiful. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Unfortunately, what I needed is a PCV valve. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) So far, I'm 0 for 2 with this part. Anybody have a current source for a PCV valve for a '73 2.0? Thanks. |
