help Identifying part

[ae_ce23]

I have a 89 2.9l v6 that is http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/2_9_Page.html

on the second photo down..
driver side valve cover near cylinder #4, entangled below hoses and electrical wires is a round black cap held to the valve cover with a rubber friction seal, and a hose running away the the carb... one repair manual refer to it as a oil filter...

i cant find this part online... I think I have the wrong name..

the rubber is gone now... its been removed till i find a replacement... but its sneezing oil all over the engine as i drive around... any ideas would be great...

I dont even know the function of this part... maybe its like another larger pcv or something...

you're talking about the breather filter, they sell them at autozone for about $5 (part number BF3412 @ autozone) here's a link to it, in the pic it's upside down btw

it has a hose that connects to the bottom of the throttle body, from what i gather, it sends leftover fuel/air mixture back in the intake to get burnt

thats it

Im looking for the gasket/seal for it that holds it into the valve cover... napa didnt have it... Is it a generic part... that is the right part... i dont know why one manual calls it a oil filter lol...

apparently your napa guy isn't that great. NAPA part number for the grommet is: CRB 29104

oh i see, i've actually been looking for one myself and the PCV valve.....autozone didnt have them or anything that i could match up to it

 

[ae_ce23]

you guys are good.. it was the same size as my pcv valve..

ae_ce23, i took that part number into my napa guy yesterday, they had to order in from another store here in NC but they have it, he said they didnt have a listing for the PCV valve grommet, but like you said in your last post, they're the same size
