I believe you are talking about a PCV valve. PCV means Positive Crankcase ventilation.
The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve on a 1998 Mercury Mystique with a 2.5L engine is typically located on the valve cover. You can find it near the rear of the engine, often connected to a hose leading to the intake manifold. It's advisable to consult the vehicle's service manual for precise location details and any specific removal or installation instructions.
The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve on a 2001 Mercury Mountaineer is typically located on the valve cover. You can find it on the driver's side, near the back of the engine. It is usually connected to a hose that leads to the intake manifold. For easier access, you may need to remove some components or covers.
The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve on a 1993 Mercury Capri is typically located on the valve cover. You can find it on the driver's side, near the rear of the engine. It is connected to a rubber hose that leads to the intake manifold. To access it, you may need to remove any components obstructing your view or reach.
On a 2000 Mercury Cougar, the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve is typically located on the valve cover. It can be found on the driver's side, near the rear of the engine. To access it, you may need to remove any covers or components blocking your way. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific instructions and diagrams.
The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve on a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis is located on the engine's valve cover. Specifically, it is usually found on the driver's side, connected to a hose that routes into the intake manifold. Accessing it may require removing some components for better visibility, depending on the specific engine configuration.
On a 2006 V8 Mercury Mountaineer, the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve is located on the driver's side valve cover. It can usually be found near the rear of the engine, connected to a hose that routes to the intake manifold. Accessing it may require removing some engine covers or components for better visibility and reach.
In a 2003 Mercury Mountaineer, the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve is located on the driver's side of the engine. It is typically found on the valve cover, connected to a rubber hose that leads to the intake manifold. You may need to remove the engine cover or other components for easier access. Be sure to check the vehicle's service manual for specific details and diagrams.
The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve on a 1997 Mercury Tracer is typically located on the valve cover. It is usually found on the driver's side and may be connected by a rubber hose to the intake manifold. To access it, you may need to remove any covers or components that obstruct visibility. Always consult a repair manual for specific guidance related to your vehicle.
Mercury is the first so Mercury is closest to the Sun.
Once you pull the powerhead, remove the flywheel, stator and trigger ring, there's nothing to it. Remove the crankcase bolts, I believe there are six of them. Pull the carburetor and the reed plate to gain access to the crankcase bolt hiding in there. Now make sure nothing is in the way and gently tap off the front crankcase half, leaving the crankshaft assembly in the block.
A few simple answers here... That oil is from the crankcase vent tube that comes in at the bottom of the box. It helps crankcase fumes to vent and get burned in the engine to reduce emissions. Several things cause the oil to come in. 1. too much oil in the engine/crankcase... (very common). 2. a plugged pcv (pos. crankcase ventilation) valve. normally located on the top of the engine on the valve cover. 3. high mile engines get some "blow by" thru the rings of the cylinders. this excessive compression gas gets into the crankcase at the bottom, then has to push out thru the vent tube at the top and takes some oil with it. Make sure your crankcase venting system is clear and clean. A plugged system can cause pressure buildup and it has to push out somewhere. eventually you can blow engine mainseals at both the front but mainly the back between the engine and tranny. An expensive repair bill there...
