My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
PCV mounts in a hole on a valve cover. No need to remove heads for that.

Yes, that's the 3.0l OHC duratec 1996 and up

And the oil separator plate needs to be installed before the heads, PCV Valve is accessible with no disassembly


Yes, those are common leak points on the 3.0l Vulcan
There is no one answer, have to check them all

Well small claims might just cost too much money. This was going to be my daily beater but so much for that. I sold it as is and told the buyer just to buy a new rebuilt motor and transmission for it.
I went ahead and bought a new f150.
Anyone have google maps and want to leave some bad reviews on this place with me!???
