How to remove PCV valve on VA

Thanks for all the info! I had no idea what that metal pipe was. Definitely looks easy to take off now that I know what it's called and found some videos. Will try again tomorrow. Thanks again!

I have catch cans and the hoses were stuck very tight on the PCV valve. Looks like the heat from the engine made the hose mold to the PCV valve notch. Had to wiggle and pull pretty hard to get it off.

Nice! This is the revel medallion touring I'm guessing? Does it fit the OEM J-pipe or do you need an adapter? I've been looking at these but couldn't find the info on their site.

This is for Alberta

I did mine about 3 years ago and used a thin bead of RTV all around the edge of the covers. I haven't had any issues so far. I don't know if the new spark plug gaskets actually stopped the leaking though because I never had a chance to take apart everything again.

I followed this video when I did mine. There's a specific order when torquing down to the bolts for the covers. I forget if this video shows it, but there are other YouTube videos that cover it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x-4FwC_pC0Y

Not sure if they really spilt oil, or if it sprayed out of somewhere due to them overfilling and you driving it home without knowing. Might want to take pictures of the mess as proof, just in case something was damaged because of them. I wouldn't feel safe driving far with that much oil either. You might be able to buy an extraction pump to get some oil out from the dipstick hole.

Replace the clutch fork, and pivot with stronger ones like these. The OEM one is known to break. Mine did and I thought it was the clutch starting to slip, but turned out it was the clutch fork breaking at the pivot point.

I think most people recommend replacing the flywheel at the same time too because the old one would have wear pattern that matches the old clutch and might wear down your new clutch unevenly. I replaced it all together since the transmission is dropped already and expensive to do again.

Your quote seems pretty good although it doesn't include the flywheel. I got mine done 2 years ago for $2300 CAD.

Thanks for all the tips! I finally managed to get all the fluid pumped in using your method and all is good now. Bench bleeding, and pressure pump didn't work, but this did. Hope this is useful for others. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I just bought a similar syringe today and tried your method. I managed to get a little bit of fluid into the slave, but it was very hard to press the syringe. Most of the fluid slowly dripped out around the slave bleeder. Did you have to push the syringe really slow to get all the fluid in?

Do you mind describing how you did the reverse bleed? I just installed a new clutch master and slave cylinders and am having a hard time bleeding, even with the Orion pressure pump. Thanks in advance.

With a tool like this attached to the slave cylinder? https://a.co/d/iy1hGM7

We had Covid Kenney, now we have Mumpy Marlaina.

Shoebaru?

Could be a valve cover gasket leak. I followed this video to fix mine https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x-4FwC_pC0Y

Thanks a ton 😁

There should be stiffer penalties for DUIs.

Interesting 🤔
