PCV Extractor suitable for Honda 3rd Gen Odyssey

Honda PCV Valve Extraction Vacuum Adapter

Why I uploaded it: Honda PCV Valves aren't on the service calendar so they can go years without replacement. The plastic gets brittle and there are many, many forum posts of people who struggle to get plastic pieces out of their engine after the valve breaks during replacement. The 5-10 minute job turns into a nightmare process. Using a 3-4" drywall screw works for most but mine was so brittle it required some extra love. 

I highly doubt anyone will ever need this but it seemed prudent to upload it just in case.

What it is: A custom adapter that steps a vacmaster beast shop vac hose down to a narrow, 90-degree curved 17mm OD straw to fit the opening where the PCV valve was removed from. Should be easy enough to modify (or create an adapter) for any vacuum. 

There is a second step down to 13mm OD which was required to retrieve the last piece of plastic from a bit deeper in the engine. 

What it does: It concentrates your vacuum's suction power into a tiny, reinforced tip that can reach deep into tight, awkward engine channels where standard hoses, pliers, and picks simply cannot fit.

What it's used for: This was specifically designed to rescue shattered pieces of a brittle PCV valve grommet that fell inside a Honda Odyssey engine block. Instead of doing a massive, multi-hour engine teardown to retrieve the fragments, you can slide this nozzle in and easily suck them out. It works for any similar retrieval job in tight automotive spaces.
