So while I have it all apart, I want to replace the hidden PCV valve. I had an idea to put it in the driver's side cover for easier replacement when the time comes again. Will this work? Or can I put a longer hose coming off the Passenger side cover and install the PCV valve in the hose out from under the plenum? Does the valve have to be straight up and down to function properly or can it be on it's side? Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Passenger side has the PCV valve and the Driver's side is just a hose. I just want to swap the hoses not the covers.

With long needle nose pliers, it can be done with a little patience. I wouldn't change sides on the valve, but hey, give it a try & report back <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> Sid, you can't get to the bolts on the pass cover, nor slide the cover out from under the plenum, without remvoing the plenum, makes tuff work outta a simple task.

I have had all the required parts for this job since April 2002! I can't put it off any more. This is going to happen this weekend. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> [color:"blue"]Carey[/color][b] [b][color:"red"]89 SR5 Extended Cab 4X4 V6 [/color][color:"blue"]Don't forget to pay your taxes......
