im kind of curious about the people that replaced the pcv valve. this is like a 4 hour job and would have cost you about 250 bucks to have done... did they really do it?
they worked on the car for about 8 hours..and you can tell that they opened it up where the PCV Valve is and when they put it back together - new screws and washers were placed...

Thanks for the suggestions..I willtry both of those tomorrow..
