I had to replace all of my PCV fittings and vacuum lines as they had broken or decayed beyond use.
The grommet that installs in the rear valve cover port is proving to be difficult to replace because the material is so blasted hard. There is no doubt you need to deform this grommet to install it but how?
I've tried to soften the grommet in hot & boiling water but no luck.
I'm considering removing my valve cover and the internal baffle below the rear PCV port to slightly increase the size of the rear hole in the valve cover to make this easier. I may even need to chamfer the outer lip of the rear port as well.
Does anyone have a solution for this? How have you solved this problem?
Thanks,
Rick
