Back in the day I did all the rec'd maintenance By The Book- plugs, wires, PCV, filters, everything. It finally dawned on me the PCV is just a spring-loaded check valve that doesn't wear out; it just might get gooped up on occasion. Clean it with spray cleaner or toss it in the parts washer, blow it out, done. Now I don't replace perfectly good parts. I look at 'em and replace only if conditions warrant it.

Metro, you threw me off a bit when you said it puked it's guts out. I thought somehow the little ball got purged but no, it was only goop.
