Honda Accord 1987 - PCV valve grommet
I don't know if my previous post went through so bear with me if this
is a duplicate post. I'm replacing the PCV valve of my '87 Accord LX. After pulling the valve I discovered that the grommet was very brittle and inadequate for providing proper seating/sealing for the valve, so I decided to replace it. The problem is to get the grommet out in one piece... it keeps breaking in pieces. My concern is that pieces may fall inside the intake manifold PCV valve hole. I noticed that the valve connects through the manifold to a tube underneath... the grommet sits between the manifold and this tube. All of the upper lip of the grommet has ed and fallen off in pieces. Will I have to remove the manifold in order to get the lower part of the grommet? Please help! Regards, MC |

My suggestion based upon what you wrote is to go ahead and remove the manifold. You should buy a new manifold gasket prior to removing the manifold. |
