ktmlew Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 2002 Tourass 3.0L 24V Is this the floppy silicone rubber gasket like the original or a more rigid type? The OE is basically formed silicone with plastic washers in the holes so it won't compress and split. Got into a mess today with a rookie changing a PCV valve. Broke PCV valve and then removed intake & unbolted oil separator...what a clusterfawk, since you can't remove the separator w/o removing a head. If this new part # gasket is rigid might be able to get it in? All he had to do was stick a socket on the end and gently turn it 180 CCW...but needlenose charlie broke it all to hell. He is stuck on Alldata. Anymore google is better, IMO. But you still have to kinda know what makes sense. He should have stepped back and said no.

ktmlew Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 This is the 1999 diagram. If you could get the rad hose nipple out of the block the separator might come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmlew Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 This piece of crap. Problem is you can't lift it high enough to move it. Is the newer design any shorter? There is a new part number I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
