Whenever I have gone to replace the PCV valve I never can find a Motorcraft branded one. I call the dealer and they have to order it for my 97 Ford F150 w4.6l engine. I have always believed that you should put on the OEM part when it comes to this particular part. So I'm going to ask has anyone had good luck buying the after market PCV valve for the 4.6 engine? In the past I have been cleaning the one I have but I'd just prefer to put in a new one now.
I could order one myself or just let the dealer get me an overpriced one. Also I notice that the after market valves aren't exactly the same as the one on my engine. The one on there now has an integrated elbow but the after market units are straight and require an elbow be fitted on them to install on my vehicle. Some brands include the elbow and others do not.
Anyway thanks for your input. The parts houses near me are Autozone Oriely and NAPA. I looked and even Rock Auto didn't offer the part. Generally I am in the category of I would love to just get the part now and get the job done.
