I used #42340 and it fits perfect. Others have also used #42330.
Excellent thread idea Mark!!!

My 4 month old Purolator PCV valve broke into two pieces just this week when I was changing it ....luckily my grommet stayed in place...the Kilbys caught the lower half of the PCV valve once we finally wrangled it out....but you have to be disjointed to reach anything there. Dave used our grabbers to scrape around and knock it out.
