I am in Alberta but very close to the BC border. I'll take a picture for you of the PCV valve that I just took off my car and post today. To be...
With them off there is a giant gap between the hood and the windshield where it would all dump into the engine bay. I have my car under a carport...
Just looking at your pics your intake ports are considerably more gunked up than mine were at 100K, but I suspect the intake manifold on my car...
