Question:

95 Chevy k1500 350 tbi pcv valve?

Ok I recently changed my pcv valve and today when I was checking my spark plugs I noticed and valve that looked exactly like a pcv valve on the passenger side valve cover iam not sure exactly what this valve is ?? I should note that I changed the pcv valve on the driver side because I noticed that it was just a hose coming out of a rubber grommet and into the back of the carb was that just a breather hose ? Thanks in advance for any info

Answer:

That other one is the crankcase breather, it goes to the air cleaner with a small clear plastic filter by the main air filter. It's not a valve so changing the breather filter is all that need be done with it.
to add, support, you can simply soak pcv valve in fuel. the little eliment filter as well. pcv valve is a hard part. rattles when shaken? it's good. elliment filter is not a paper one. it too can merely be soaked. i've seen a few pcv valves that are bad. those were on engines that sat in yards for years and years. oil dried and set. had ridges that did not let the ball rattle. other than that, never seen one go bad. just need cleaning.
