I was working on my car today and as I was pulling out the pcv valve, most of the valve came out. The bottom piece was still stuck inside and when I tried to get some pliers to get it out, it fell in to the box. How do I get that out? or would it not affect my car if I go ahead and just install the new one?

well since we have no idea what kind of car you have, my short answer is get it out somehow. generally the PCV valve is open to the valves/rocker arms/pushrods/camshaft and not good to have a piece of something bouncing around in there.
Agreed..
How about some information on what exactly your working on..

Sorry was in a hurry that day. I ended up going to the junk yard and getting a new crankcase breather box off another car. I drive a Honda Civic HX 1997. I have done a lot to it as far as repairs go. New exhaust manifold, new catalytic converter, new valve cover gaskets and new breather box. New brake master cylinder, new clutch cylinder. Flushed the radiator. The manual transmission needs a fluid change as well. I needed to replace the oil pan gasket but wanted to know how the oil pan gasket on this car works. I took off the pan and noticed that it has a gasket going into the pan itself and just seals the oil from coming out. I read that you can swap a pan from the previous gen Honda into these with no complications but I wanted to know if this design had an advantage over the other since the other is a little lighter. If anyone knows the answer that would be great
