It's the first picture, the brass coloured valve just to the left of the intake manifold. It has a screw-on base which is removed with a deep socket after you pull off the vacuum hose. Funny design, it sucks through a large metal piece that tunnels to the block from the rear of the pcv valve mounting point, unlike past Hondas that had breather tanks before the pcv valve, the breather tank on this engine is inaccessible.

I thought you were doing something like that. Could you give us some pics of the finished install, our manifold sucks a ton of oil from the pcv location, the bottom catch pan in the manifold has a shitload of oil in it if you ever take it apart.

I couldnt see very much room to mount a catch can in our engine bay , so if you could let us see your final installation that would be cool.

yeah i'll definitely post pics. should we be worried about the oil that is in there already? i don't think i will be able to get to the oil in the manifold anytime soon. i have 28k on my car by the way. i wonder how much gunk i have in there?

Good thing you didn't pull the one in the second picture. That's the EVAP hose!!!

to be honest, there's not a whole lot of oil in there right now as it is. When i changed my pcv valve, it was clean, no oil.
