On my 2004 Ford ranger. I would like to know the location of the pcv valve on the 3.0 liter v6 engine. I can tell you, its not on either valve cover.

I ask were is it located. It is not on either of the valve covers. The book I have says its on the cam cover. Is the cam cover on top of the engine between the valve covers? Is the valve toward the front of the engine or is it further back?
