Hi, I wondered if the vehicle listed above has a grommet or some kind of gasket that goes into the crank case to hold the PCV valve in.

Hi,
The PCV valve is locked into the valve cover with a twisting motion. The valve itself has an o-ring for sealing. I will provide the instructions for removal below with pictures attached:
1. Remove the vacuum hose.
2. Remove the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve.
1 Disconnect the coolant hoses from the PCV valve.
2 Unlock and remove the PCV valve from the valve cover.
Please let us know how it goes,
William
