PCV Valve replacement....
I was going to change my PCV valve on my 94 Civic 5-speed, but no-one
carries them. Is this a dealer-only part? It's only $15 retail per
majestic honda, so I might just drive down there and get it. However,
I was looking at it and I can't figure out how the grommet comes off
after you pull the vavle out. Should it stay in the engine or should I
replace it? Haynes doesn't say anything about it. Any info?? Thanks!!

Re: PCV Valve replacement....
Autozone's web site says they sell a Beck/Arnley PCV valve for a 1994 Civic for
$14.04.
The last one I bought was at a dealer's for about $20. (I will try Autozone's or
Majestic's next time.)
I changed my 1991 Civic's PCV valve last spring but don't remember difficulty
with a grommet. I just bought the new valve, removed the old one, saw it was
identical (except for age) to the new one, and installed the new one.
I do see the drawings at Majestic for the two valves (91 and 94) are a little
different.
IIRC mine comes off with a 17 mm wrench. The first time I needed a tall socket
and I think a ratchet wrench with a U-joint, because it was on pretty tight. Now
I just use a crescent.

No, mine pops off with my fingers, but there is a grommet it pops
into. Should/Can that be replaced is the question I really needed to
know. Thanks!

http://www.honda.co.uk/owner/CivicManual/pdf/11-109.pdf indicates for a 1995
Civic that, yes, the grommet can fail and may need replacement. It describes
(the usual) check for PCV valve/grommet correct operation.
