PCV Valve issue / broken

hey, we are doing a oil change on my 2000 civic ex and trying to replace the PCV valve too. The PCV valve broke when trying to remove it and now it seems a piece of it might have fallen into the intake manifold. What should I do? And if it did fall in will it damage anything?

Thank Jenn

Yes, it could. You need to remove the manifold and get that piece. If it's metal you could possibly get it with one of those magnet-on-a-stick things.

It's probably hasn't gotten past the breather. Take that off and see if you can account for all the broken pieces.
