Hello again, sorry to annoy everyone, im doing the inlet manifold gaskets on the vu v6 ute, pcv valve was covered in oil and sludge so I have a new one. Im sure I pulled it out with nozzle pointing up and the spring over that with the "can" part at the bottom . Is that correct? Many thanks !

Blow through it - it should have a one way valve inside it.

Align it so air flows out of the engine into the inlet manifold.

If l remember correctly the spring goes to the bottom of the pcv. It wont fit with the spring to the top (plenum wont go on).
