I am planning to replace my PCV valve. My 4.0 SOHC has the heated PCV valve. The Motorcraft EV268 is the direct replacement but I plan to reuse the existing tubing that wraps around the PCV valve so I don't have to partially drain the coolant. That means I would just throw away the new tubing that comes with the new PCV valve. I have found another part number that looks like the same thing without the tubing to heat it. It is Motorcraft EV243. It looks like it has the same groove in it that the tube fits around. Yes, it is only a few bucks less than the one that comes with the tube, but I don't like spending money on something I am just going to throw away.
So the question is, does anyone know if the Motorcraft EV243 will fit my 4.0 SOHC valve cover and allow the tube to fit around it? All the websites I look at state it does not fit my vehicle, but I think that is because it does not have the heater tube. Is there another Motorcraft part number that comes without the tube and will work for me?
