O.K so I just did the pc valve on my 91. It was the oem pcv and I am embarrased to say the car has 250K on it and I'm the orignal owner.:( But with everything these things sometimes elude us. Anyway I just wanted to say thanks for the info people have posted on here about the re and re.

I printed off about 5 pages of info from this forum and discovered 1 more way to do the change. So here goes:

First I took off my intake tube and rubber flex joint going to the throttle body. Next I loosened the alt. belt tensioner and pulled the belt from the alt. pulley. Next I took out the 14mm bolt from the alt. lower housing and pushed the alt. out of the way. I located the PCV and took the hose off with needle nose pliers and a long flat head screwdriver to pop it off. A self ratcheting 19mm wrench and the pcv came right out and then reverse for install.

I guess the best part of this way is I went from the bottem with minimal work over the top of the engine and I did not have to pull out the intake support arm,oil press. unit, oil filter,drain the rad,rad hoses or anything that would make the job longer and more costly due to fluid changes.

The re and re took less than an hour. Anyways Thanks again to everybody who had input on this pain in the *** re and re.
