Where is the PCV valve on my '91 5.0 HO? I don't see it in the valve covers. I had to R&R the IACV to clean it because it was gummed up with oil. I'm assuming that the PCV valve/hose is clogged and oil is blowing back into the intake.Please feel free to offer any other suggestions for the oil in the intake. ------------------

Don't forget there's a metal mesh screen below it that must be removed and cleaned. There's a little corkscrew tool to remove it. Also it's likely the grommet that holds the PCV is hard and needs relacing.Dan Jones

Thanks, Dan. That's a big help. I didn't know that. Do you know where I can get the tool? Is it available at the local parts store?------------------

I got the grommet at the dealer but I think my dad already had the tool. Come to think of it, it might have just been a curved dental pick that I used to snag it with.

I wound up using a small pair of forceps to grab the screen.------------------

Is the screen some sort of 'oil arrestor' or something? Is it really necessary to replace it? ????????? Ryan

> Is it really necessary to replace it?It keeps the PCV valve itself from getting gunked up.
If the screen is clogged, the PCV valve won't do its job.
Don't forget about replacing the grommet. Do the job right
and you won't have to do it again. Dan Jones
