location of pcv valve on 1988 grand prix

[headlice1]

Well, does anyone know where it is? Pics?

OK, I have a pic of the engine! Please point out the general area of where it could be!

this is a fun one! it is in the valve cover in the center Between the fire wall and intake plenum. you will have to rotate the engine forward by removing the front motor mounts,maybe even the altenator, be careful not to damage the moulded rubber hose that connects to the manifiold/Pcv valve

ah crap....I thought it would be in the back.

Thanks for the help...prybar to rotate engine, right?

Ok, here is Chilton's directions on engine rotation:

Put in neutral
remove air cleaner assembly and coolant recovery
unfasten torque strut to engine bracket bolts and swing struts aside
replace passenger side strut bolt in bracket
position pry bar in bracket so that it contacts bracket and bolt
rotate engine by pulling forward on prybar
align slave hole in driver side torque strut bracket bolt
retain engine in this position using strut bolt



Does this sound easy enough?

The funny thing is, in the Chilton's manual on replacing a PCV valve, this is all they say:

-remove valve from grommet in valve (rocker arm) cover
-disconnect valve from breather hose

WTF? Why didnt they tell me I had to rotate engine!?!?!
