I have an '89 Accord LX (carb).
I want to replace the PCV valve but the Haynes manual states that it can be in one of three places:
1. in the tube between the air filter and crankcase,
2. in the crankcase cover and
3. in the crankcase itself?
I new to taking simple maintenance into my own hands so before I open the crankcase cover, what words of caution do you all have for me?
Doesn't opening the crankcase cover break a gasket that I need to replace with a new one?
Isn't this too much trouble just to replace a $3 part?
Please advise...
