Nicely done. I like your attention to detail - like which way to put in the washer. I don't think it matters but shows you are a thinking man. Gotta love the factory workers with a sense of humor putting the clamp on upside down!
THANK you for such a helpful video! I spent a good while trying to locate my PCV the other day, saw the upside down spring clip, and let out a big "Grrrr..." I was about to give up until someone sent me your video and I saw you had the same issue. Thanks for the encouragement to give it a try!
I always like to know the torque when I use a crush washer. The dealer said that the torque on the PVC valve is 33 foot pounds. Thanks for the great video.
I would go with the OEM PCV valve from the dealership. It does not cost much more and then you know you're getting a good part. My Lexus one was 15 bucks vs like 5 dollars from the part store but I would not trust the cheap one.
So I did this job today. Guess what??? The clamp was on upside down too! Actually is easy to spin it around with your fingers. Not a great deal of clamping force there.
The washer/gasket is the exact same thing as the crush washer usd on the oil pan drainplug. I decided since this is being replaced at 162,000 miles, we could afford to use the OEM parts from the dealer even if it was $40. I was hoping a how to video would include the torque spec.
Scotty sent me here just replaced the valve on my 2014 crv the old one was much dirtier than yours with a lot of burnt oil all around it.. hoping this will solve the issue of my engine burning oil
Honda never has these in the maintenance schedule for any of their cars which I think is ridiculous for such a cheap part. In my experience every 60,000 miles would be a nice conservative replacement interval. I had one go bad on my Accord and it makes a mess.
Any idea how much torque as per Mfg for us using a torque wrench? I was thinking either 29 or 30 as this would be same as for my oil drain bolt on 07' Civic Si Sdn and 14' Civic CRV-EX.
@@starastronomer Well done video very simplistic... I am surprised local mechanic or Honda never recommend this. What is the biggest difference you notice after change? Better mileage / better performance? I am also doing on the 2014 Honda CR-V with 106K.
Hello Sir. Is that the same as the gasket oil drain plug washer that you use when changing the engine oil? Thank you and i really appreciate your effort to show us the particular part number of that Gasket/ Washer.
@@starastronomer many new designs dont have pcv anymore. some just have a small orifice. some have a small reservoir (more like a catch can design) but anyway it is good idea to get it out and clean it since it is so oily already. may get sticky inside even tho it still rattles. dont discard the old one. just soak it in carb cleaner and it can be reused next time. i guess it costs more than $20 for honda part
@@starastronomer I've run into way too many problems over the years due to over & under tightened fasteners. In my younger days I was strong enough I'd break a 3/8 bolt without noticing it got tight, now I'm so weak I have absolutely no feel for tight or loose. I read in a couple places the torque spec is 33' lbs. Thanks for an excellent video
If the valve is stuck closed the crankcase will develop high pressure and start blowing oil through every seal, o-ring, gasket, and passed the rings. You will notice it immediately at the valve cover. It ain't pretty. And the engine will consume oil.
