CPV Question

Hey guys. I'm gonna be starting my Euro header and cat conversion tomorrow and I have a Rogue CPV o-ring to install while I've got things apart. So, stupid question but I just want to be sure from someone who has done this to avoid making a mess. Does the oil need to be drained before removing the valve? From what I've read it doesn't sound like it - just a couple drops, not a flood when removed - but, as I said, I just want to be sure. Thanks!

No need to drain. At most you might get a dribble of oil, easily cleaned up with a rag.

I did mine recently but it's still leaking (replaced with upgraded o-rings). I think I'll have to use thread sealant this time around to be sure.

Good luck.

Thanks for confirming that. What type of thread sealant are you going to use? You didn't replace the valve, just the o-ring right?

Yes just the o-ring.

I had a a leak coming from the large oil pan plug on the driver's side and used this on the threads:

I have some left over so that's what I'll probably use.

There's an oil port above the threads.
I don't think thread seal is going to help.
Make sure the O-ring is intact and everything is nice and clean where it seats.

good call, I seriously hope the extra o-ring I got will fix this for good.
