Bad PCV valve, insides missing

[Clay_Lucas]

It looks like the weight on the inside of the valve worked it's way through the larger hole.

 

Looks like it went into the valve cover.

 

Should I be worried? This was the original one and I've got 230k on the clock. I'm guessing it's just been turned to powder, but I don't know.

 

One thing I do know for sure, a small metal weight falling into the engine can't be good for it.

 

So should I be worried? Is it worth the time to try and find it?

 

For all I know it could have failed befor I even got the truck.

What year vehicle? Starting in 2004, iirc, GM went to a fixed orifice...... no loose or rattling parts, just a hole

Sorry.

 

2000 silverado 1500 5.3. The new one rattled and there was a noticeable weight difference
