  Q: What precautions should be taken when replacing the PCV Valve on Chevrolet Venture?

  A: The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve requires complete replacement alongside the valve rocker arm cover because they come as a single assembly. As a first step you need to take off the left valve rocker arm cover. Cleaning the non-defective PCV valve can replace the need for rocker arm cover replacement. To proceed with the PCV valve cleaning process first detach its screws from the PCV baffle. The valve cover requires a new replacement when the PCV valve becomes defective or when cleaning proves ineffective. You must employ the right fasteners at their proper positions based on specified part numbers for installation. The service procedure specifies which fasteners need replacement as well as the appropriate usage of thread locking compounds and sealants. The use of paints and lubricants together with corrosion inhibitors must be avoided on fasteners and their joint surfaces because they can alter torque settings and clamping force and possibly harm the fastener. The correct fastening procedures with their specific sequences should be followed to prevent damage to components and subsystems. The service procedure calls for assembly of the PCV baffle before securing its screws at 6 Nm (53 lb in). Finally install the left valve rocker arm cover.
