Hey everyone,

I think the PCV valve on my rocker cover is buggered.
I'm getting a new line drilled and tapped into the inlet manifold adapter for the Weber next week and want to check that this valve is working and clean it out if neccesary.

However, I can't get the sod out of the rocker cover.

How is it done? Hammer? Crowbar? Pliers? Explosives?

Thanks...

Here in the US...they just pull out..if the rubber "grommet" is hardened..then they stick.

Alright then.
Brute force it is.

And hope I don't crack the rocker cover at all...

Twist and pull to get it out. A little silicone spray and a new grommet make installation a lot easier.
