PCV Valve rattling?

[csmaan12]

Does it have a ball bearing inside or something? I had my hood open today after I started the car and I heard a bzzt bzzt here and there. I felt around the engine bay and it seemed like it was coming from the PCV valve on the passenger-side valve cover, and I was actually able to make it worse by putting some pressure on it at an angle.

Is that an acceptable noise for it to make or shall I change it anyways since it's cheap? Car runs fine, no codes or anything, just the valve seems buzzy. Any preventative measures I can take to avoid replacing it all the time.

Yes, The pcv has a check valve in it. I'm sure it's fine.

Hmm okay, I'll leave it alone then. Thanks, my friend's car did this too, just seems strange.

Twist it out and shake it. If it rattles its good. If not, needs to be replaced.

Come on guys, get a UPR catch can for that passenger side. You will thank me 5 years from now, maybe 3 years!

It definitely rattles lol, while it's doing it's job, but that's good news then.

Working on that being my next purchase before I continue with the suspension. Trying to knock that out before engine/tune etc.
