Where can I get a PCV screen (filter)? Actually, this is for my 5.0 Crown Vic, but I know I've replaced it on my stang before too. It's the same part.

It is a cylindrical shaped item about an inch in diameter and about an inch high. If you pull out the PCV valve and the grommet, you'll find the screen below there.

I just put new head gaskets on the Crown Vic, and found that the screen was totally clogged with crap. I couldn't get it out of the intake lower without destroying the thing. I'm guessing that the cloggage was one cause of my massive oil leaks on that car too...

Anyway...where can I buy this part? I went to several parts stores and called a few others. They don't seem to know what I'm talking about. I was able to find it on www.rockauto.com...but I don't feel like paying $6 shipping for a $7 part.

You can see the part here...http://www.rockauto.com/ref/Airtex/Detail.html?6P1257.jpg

The dealer (the screen is like 5-7 bucks).

Some parts stores can get them - so people have posted in here before.

At home I have part numbers from Schmucks and NAPA. I will post them later tonight if you still need them.

If they try to look them up under pcv, they will never find it. It is usually listed as a screen or crankcase screen, I think.

It can be found on the Schucks site. There are 2 listed there I think.

Oreilly had it in stock the last time I bought one. Have them look it up under PCV filter or crankcase filter. I know it was something like that. They will have no idea what you are talking about.

I bought one for mine at Advance Auto. No problem and he knew exactly what I wanted. Easy.

Yeah, if you wouldn't mind, I'll get it at NAPA if you give me the part number. Thanks!

At Parts America (Advance Auto Parts), it's called a "crankcase breather". Click on below link.

if you go to Oreilly's, have them look it up under "flame arrestor". Don't ask me, but the counter guy said that's what they used to be called.
