Take the valve cover off and work on a bench.

It says do it in 2-3 steps.

I think the intake needs to come off too...

It happens. I had the same thing happen on my wheels except they were too loose.....

If you need to use the car, push the PCV valve into place and try to secure it with a staytie to hold it in place until you have time to do it right.

thanks KN. for the time being i used a zip tie through the bolt hole on the pcv valve and wrapped it around the oil dipstick. its actually very snug.

i drove a few places like that and had no problems. im going to wait for the fuel injectors to come in before i take this thing apart. no need to do it twice

Zip ties FTW!

why did you have to tighten it with a torque wrench? If a zip tie can hold the damn thing in place, do you really need a torque wrench to do a simple bolt? Good luck with that

i used a torque wrench because i always like to have things within spec..im anal like that

id love to use and extractor but i cant get a drill in there to drill a hole first. i tried a right angle drill but it was still too big. if i had one of those really small right angle air drills it would work

You'd better take it off & get it on a w/bench or you'll really d**k it up trying to drill with a rt. angle drill.
Did you torque the zip tie to spec?

Believe it or not, we use calibrated zip tie guns at work. They pull the tie tight and clip then end flush so as to not leave a sharp plastic tail. HAHA. I don't use them unless an inspector requires it.
