Default pvc on sc3

hello, all. first post. great forum btw.

been searching posts for location of the pcv valve on the car. does anyone have pics?
i think i see it near the middle right near the back of the engine bay...but it shouldn't be
that hard to pull out right? looks like it requires removal of a lot of stuff to get to...

any steps would be greatly appreciated.

it is on the back of the drivers side valve cover. It is blue/black and pulls right out of the valve cover, just pull harder!

I have searched all over but anyone done their PCV valve lately? I got a 92 Lexus SC300 manual. The tutorials Ive seen on youtube use a metal one that screws in that is L shaped but for newer yrs. The ones in a 92 are L shaped but plastic with a rubber grommet. Advanceauto gave me a straight one thats metal and a rubber grommet but it looks like this fits for the 92 Lexus SC400. Do I need to return this or will it still fit a SC300?

Amazon shows 2 different shapes and shows either will fit.

Yeah it is the L shaped one for the 300. You will almost assuredly need the grommet as well, they are always too hard to get the valve in and out.
