A couple of things...

1) If you don't address i.e. fix the oil leaks... you and your passengers had better where a ventilator while driving.

2) Get a fire extinguisher that can work on oil...

The color represents it's use. Don't ask if I know which one to buy. The color of the RTV I used was not red on the PCV Oil Separator . I don't remember which I used for what purpose. One type for...

Don't use caulk! RTV can be purchased from any auto part store. It's like buying toothpaste, you have to read and determine which one is right for each use. One is high temp and others resist oil...

Yes, it's RTV not atv like I listed. Man, I wish I could edit my own posts! Some entries I catch a typo, but I can't edit to damn thing! No gasket, it's RTV material which seals the PCV Oil...

I tend to only replace parts that are defective.

However, my current issues with our Saturn are going to require me to learn the IMRC system complete! Not happy! But, what I am not going to do...

Just like I said previously, the people who write manuals don't always know what they are writing about. The vent housing, PCV Oil Separator, does not have a gasket. It is mounted metal to metal...

Yes, they bolt have a PCV Oil Separator, but the hoses are much different. This might be correct for a later year Saturn VUE, but not the 2000-2001 L300. The diagrams shows two separate paths of...

Pliers alone can not clamp those clips because they can't force the clip to close. What to use is a Tile Nipping tool. They are dull so they won't damage the clip. They grab past the apex of each...

The diagram is not of a Saturn top end. That is the Cadillac top end.

That's a good question. I haven't been able to find any diagram of the block to show where the two ports connecting to the PCV Oil Separator go. It is two separate ports. I do have a bore scope...

Are you sure those were fuel lines? Because the two lines which were bolted to the PCV Oil Separator module were actually water coolant lines not fuel lines. The fuel lines are no where need the...

I have spoken in depth about the core problem which is your engine is puking oil out of gaskets. You have not changed any gaskets and merely cleaning the excess oil off the engine is not going to...

I gather you are trying to get the oil cooling part off before you take off the injector intake. There are 6 bolts holding on the injector intake before you can get to the oil cooler.

Why are you buying and bringing so many parts home with you? I'm not sure any of them will be useful. Although, I am a "Parts are Parts" kind of guy... just ask my wife as she is constantly telling...

If we're getting all trim and proper... the actually name of the "PVC Module" as I refer to it is "pcv oil separator". I refer to it as a PCV Module because it does many functions with very few...

You don't need to remove any fuel lines to get to the PCV Module. There are two coolant hard lines from the drivers side to passenger side. They start with short rubber hoses, then hard line and...

I think the CTS (I think that is the right caddy engine) has the same block and PCV module as the 3.0L Saturn, but the entire top half of the intakes are completely different and much harder to work...

Thanks Fdryer. I too had such issues because when I recalled the different component's names I referred to the Upper Plenum as the Upper Intake in my photos. In my mind it is the upper intake and...
