justinwebb Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 So I was removing my pcv valve and part of the rubber grommets broke off inside the intake manifold and I have no idea how to get it out. It's a 91 olds cutlass ciera v6 it's in my garage and it's heated and I have tools just need some help. I will pay for time and travel just call my cell 614-893-3444 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 rubber in the intake? if its a small piece just let it go, if/when it makes its way into a cylinder it will melt and turn to ash and go out the exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinwebb Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 It's not that small maybe the size of half a dime or a little more ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Is it reachable at all? Could you apply some crazy glue to the end of a hanger, per se, and grab it out? Otherwise, you may have to pull that intake, I guess. Hard to say without seeing it myself. If you're not comfortable with whatever size it is being burnt up, (I wouldn't. It'd drive me crazy.), then you'll just have to figure out a way. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99FLHRCI Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Did it break off on the top elbow into the large log part of the manifold or the lower part of the pcv into the lower part of the manifold? If it is the upper part I would let it go or try to fish it out maybe LONG pliers thru the throttle body? If it is the lower, it went into the valley on top of the block into the oil system...time to pull the manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
