Dorman 42327 PCV Grommet - 0.712 ID - 1.477 In. OD - 0.990 In. Thickness Compatible with Select Ford / Lincoln / Mercury Models

This is a PCV grommet for now old 5.0 Fords. They don't last forever so I want spares, Tom

Did it’s job

I had another of these grommets, possibly same brand, from years ago, that also fit loose. I just recently bought another one, and this one is no different.Some people, like the other reviewer, put stuff around it, like the RTV mentioned.Me, I just wrap around the, "threads" on this grommet, a few times with Plumber's Teflon tape. In the past, I'd wrap electrical tape around the, "Threads", but, it did not survive the heat of the engine too well. Teflon tape deals with the heat better. After that, this PCV valve grommet fits in there pretty snug. I use just enough Teflon tape for tight fit.

It fit just like the original on my 1998 5.0 Explorer.

NICE ITEM

I had a issue with this that i had to put RTV around it to seal it in. IF i would have just pushed it in it would have still leaked air. It sure fit loose compared to the original one that came with the car. The gap isnt that great but it would surely leak if a person didnt put rtv or something to fill the gap. Other then that its a good product.

Literally fell into the hole on the manifold. Fortunately the intake is on the bench so it was an easy retrieval. GT40 tubular intake if it makes a difference.

It has a loose fitment.
