The Integra PCV valve is over $25 from the dealer, even online.

Yeah I know OEM dealer shit can be expensive, but even Toyota OEM PCV valves can be had under $10. WTF?

I mean really?

Nope.

But yeah, Honda seems to be greedy. Toyota is generally much more fair with their prices.

A Chevy distributor is like 80 bucks, and pretty much everything went distributor-less in the late 80's.

At the salvage yard we sold late-model Honda car distributors for $125, and late-model Toyota car distributors at $225. We sold every single one we could get our hands on, within a week of them getting put in inventory.

Rock Auto has them as cheap as $2 but I would probably spend a little extra for the beck arnley one. It's $3.79.
