2G Broke PCV valve in valve cover.

[idlehand04]

Hey guys

I was replacing my pvc valve, when it snapped on me. I got it out with a reverse drill bit but a piece of the pvc valve drop into the valve cover and I dont know how to get it out.. I took off the valve cover and I can hear it inside.

Will it be fine if I just left it in there?
Is there a way to get it out?
Or get another cover?(If so, anyone have a good one for cheap?)

Please help me.
Thanks

Really the only way to remove it would be to remove the baffle inside.

How would i go about doing that?

If you can get the piece near the hole where the pcv, maybe you could try a magnetic pick-up tool.

Assuming he is talking about the threaded portion, that wouldn't work.

is it a peice of plastic or metal? if its metal go get a thin magnet on a bendy stick and fish it out. u can get real thin ones from sears i belive

How would i go about doing that?

Either removing the baffle all together, by drilling out the spot welds and either not re using it or buying the "CompWorks" replacement baffle and welding that back in. Or what I would do, if buying a new cover is not an option, drill a small hole, maybe 3/8s or slightly bigger into the baffle in a spot not by the pcv or vent nipple, and shake it around tell it fell out. I wouldn't drive with it in there too long, if at all for fear of it coming out.

I got the threaded portion on the pvc valve out. Its the center brass piece im talking about.

I would drill the small hole I was talking about. That would be the easiest. Chances of you getting it out of the pcv hole are slim.

Im gonna give the magnet then the drill a try.. Test my luck i guess haha

Anyone have a extra valve cover for sell if all fails?

Brass is not magnetic. It wont work. Can you actually get the piece near the hole? Then you could bend up a metal coat hanger put a drop of superglue on the end, touch the two pieces and let dry. Then pull it out. Not really too much you can do.

Ok thanks. I'll try that
