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.
