PCV Question

[Benjamin]

2003 Galant 2.4L

Gotta replace valve cover, cracked.

Found one from previous year 2001 where everything matches except for the PCV attachment. I’m curious if these are interchangeable?

2003 model: A nipple comes up from the valve cover, a metal pcv valve screws into that nipple.

2001 model: A grommet with a plastic pcv valve sits in a hole on top of the valve cover.

Can I put a 2001 valve cover /w pcv valve on my 2003 and call it a day? No problems w/ a different type of pcv valve?

That question I don’t have an answer to. They may have changed the design
due to grommet failure. The 2003 design seems better. You may be able to
call the dealer parts to see if they can tell you if it will fit.
