So I am changing PCV and the grommet on my 98 ls400 and a piece of the grommet fell in so just wondering will I be okay to drive it? What will happen if I don't get it out??

how big of a chunk? worst thing possibly clog a oil return hole. I'm certain i dropped a tiny piece of mine in..

Thanks for the reply but I was able to get it out lol but damn tube broke! Now gotta replace the rubber tube

My PVC tube shattered into peices as well when i changed it. I've worked on a bazillion cars, and the The underhood rubber on LS400s definitely doesn;t withstand the test of time very well!

What kind of tubing you use to replace?

YoshiMan

I initially fabricated my own peice using emission tubing and a 90 degree elbow, but it rode a little to high and rubbed against the engine cover. So i just ordered an OEM hose to replace it. It pretty small, so its relatively inexpensive
