I didnt understand your question (sorry sort of new to this car stuff)
Are you asking if the PCV valve ratles if I Shake it? If yes, I dont where the PCV valve is, I will have to look that up and try..
to access the PCV valve u need to remove the plastic black engine cover and if u r looking straight at the engine its on the right side, it screws into the top part of the cylinder head, if i can find a pic i'll post it, but its made of metal i beilieve and u can buy it at advance auto for about $5-8. if this little valve gets clogged or breaks it will foul up the inside of your engine like u wouldn't believe. it scavenges and sucks up execess blow-by crankcase vapors and reroutes them to the intake plenum to be reburned by your engine, it will also cause oil leaks if the valve clogs up. and definitely switch to full synthetic oil.
