montjim99 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Just replaced this on my car. And I was wondering if somebody could tell me how much you should tighten it? I noticed it got quite difficult to keep tightening and there was still exposed threads. So I just stopped there and left it snug. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjw Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Yes..Snug is good. Maybe just a pinch more. Exposed threads is normal as it's a pipe thread affair. Don't overtighten. You could crack the manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could crack the manifold. +1, I wouldn't tighten it any more. Should work just fine with snug tightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rverdoold Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 My car hesitates a little bit sometimes. I have not removed the vacuum tube yet to see if it was dirty or not. On my car it is also tightened with a wireholder. Could the PCV valve reduce hesitation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
