what about on a 5.8 liter engine? that seems to be what I see for sale
out there - and those are the engines that seem to be blowing oil out
really badly.
Do the 5.8 liter engines have a screen below the PCV valve? I don't
know how I would get it out of the head, as it is on the back side of
the passenger side of the block, and there is hardly any room to pull
out the PCV valve, much less the grommet and the screen
