Honda PCV won't fit my car. The old PCV ends are the same size but on the new one that I just bought from the dealer has one large end and one small end. I tried to jam it in there but it won't fit... would silicone spray help?

No pep boyz in north west arkansas. there's one in Little Rock... that's 3 hours away though.

I tried autozone and they gave me the same one!
I went back to Honda too and they said that's the only one they have...

I'm gonna try to jam it in there...

Be careful. If you got a new grommet you could probably do it without a problem, but the old one is going to be quite hard and brittle. If you force it too hard you'll crack the grommet and end up with a vacuum leak.

i ran into the same prob, the lower part of the pcv is part of the manifold and any crak on the gourmet is gonna give a vacuum leak. i am planning to buy a high temp rubber (braided) hose and clamp it there direclty.
