Default Need some quick help (PCV change, belt change, + advice)

Okay friend of mine has an 01 SC1 that we're going to be tinkering with for a few hours this evening. We're changing (for certain) the belt and PCV. Is there anything we NEED to know before pulling the old belt and putting the new one on? Like something with a left hand thread, or a gadget that explodes if wrenched? Important stuff unique to saturns...

Can anyone either provide a picture or a decent verbal description of where the PCV is?

This is the first time getting into the SC motor...I'm used to RWD layouts...no idea where anything is...

REWARD EXCELLENCE!

PCV:


The belt is a little easier to change if you jack up the passenger side, take the wheel off, and take the wheel well liner out. It'll give you direct access to that side of the engine, and lots more clearance.

You can replace the belt from the top without removing anything.A little tougher than the through the wheel well method though.Take a look...

Geez, Thanks a ton, Rich. Your video makes the belt replacement embarrassingly easy.
