PCV = Positive Crankcase Ventilation. Any mechanic will know what this is.
I haven't chagned it since I have owned the car (5 yrs) I was gonna recently but the idiots at my locals parts store gave me the wrong one, so now I need to exchange it.
I have talked to the local shops about getting the rings done and yet again I will be getting royally screwed by them for over $1,000 dollars
so I'll probably just opt for another engine since its cheaper (maybe not in the long run but for now anyway) and I can't afford more than what they want for a engine & install locally. I think it costs more in Colorado for some reason I hate this state!
