PCV Valve Hands Too Big

89 F250 4x4 351 EFI. The PCV Valve grommet and 90 degree connecting hose keep popping out of the valve cover. The insertion point is all the way at the back of the valve cover on the passenger side under the intake manifold. Has anyone ever tried had a problem like this and come up with a solution to keep this stuff from coming apart. When it pops out it is so loud you can hear it in the cab and the engine starts to lope very bad at stop lights. I have already replaced the valve itself.

I'm by no means a professional, but i have been around. THe only think I can think of would be some super blue gasket maker. The stuff is cheap, and should hold, but then again, I am sure someone else has a better idea. Sounds like you have a nice truck, though.

Man, that never even crossed my mind. Here in GA it is an automatic response to improvise repairs...
