Hi, I ‘d like to install an oil catch can if possible. I need to remove the PCV valve to do so, however mine is metal and I’m not sure it can be removed. I was wondering if it’s possible and how I’d do it? I’d also like to know what fittings should be installed in its place if possible? Thank you.

Hello,

Yes, your vehicle's PCV valve can be removed. You need to ensure that the catch can that you install simply fits snugly in the hole on top of your vehicle's valve cover. If necessary, replace the grommet with a bigger or smaller on to accommodate the catch can. Get back to us with how it turns out, please.

Thanks,
Alex
