Help! Broken MSD PCV
Hello, I was removing my MSD Intake from my old Camaro and I'm not sure when it happened but the PCV was broken in half. Is this able to be fixed or will I have to buy a completely new intake from MSD?

I'm sure there is some way to fix it. Depends on how much is broken off....worst case you could pull or drill out the stub and drill/tap in a metal version.
For example: https://a.co/d/3MNGjyP |

I would seal it with something compatible with plastic. You really don't want to use thread tape with a male metal part going into female plastic as it might crack it. |

This is what I was thinking of doing but wasnt sure if I could. Is there a tool to get the PCV nipple off?

If this is a threaded fitting, a sprinkler nipple extractor might work. They sell these at Home Depot, Lowe's, harbor freight...
These do tend to scuff up the inner wall of the fitting you are extracting. |

Another thought, if you cut it down to the base of the fitting, taking the remaining nipple off, you could drill the base, and if there's enough material thickness, thread a plastic barbed fitting into the base. Should even be able to get that fitting in black plastic. Or you could go metal, but I don't like using metal fittings on plastic, particularly threads for obvious reasons. If there isn't enough material to cut a thread into the base fitting, you could still use the plastic threaded barb fitting and glue it. The threads will act as a guide to keep the fitting straight, once the glue sets it will be as hard as plastic and sealed. You should be able to thread it in up the hilt. Just my $0.02 for a less risky approach. As a word of caution, friction welding is great for making a clean looking joining of 2 pieces, but when it breaks it more often causes a lot of base material damage because no filler material is used in the joining process. If you try to remove that fitting, you will likely take a chunk of the manifold with it. Your best option to remove the fitting, is to cut it out with a high speed dremel. Again, I'd exhaust the other methods of re-using what is left before resorting to that. Without knowing what the port looked like before the fitting was inserted and joined, you won't know how much material to remove or where to remove material from. It's not something you can just put a heat gun to and pull.

I had mine broke off during shipping, UPS was not gentle with the box. I JB Plastic welded it back together. I put a drinking straw in the opening and prepped the area and applied the JB Weld to both parts and it's air tight now. I'll take a picture when I get home.
