      the factory part number Motorcraft has no elbow. Some catalogs list a superseded part, which is identical but comes with the removable elbow. The OEM PCV valve is actually made of plastic, and for a reason. The metal ones will sometimes make a clattering noise as the little disc in there dances around. Plastic ones are quiet. More granny tuning. The stock valve is some sort of phenolic material, which is impervious to just about everything including nuclear bombing.
