Question 2002 4.6 PCV questions

Wondering if someone on here can help me out. Looking for pictures of the passenger side PCV system on a 2002 4.6 romeo engine. I went to the local dealer here and trying to replace my pcv and the pcv that was listed was a screw in type. The one I was wanting to replace is a push in type.
Well, upon further investigation, there is a push in style on the passenger side and a screw in type pcv on the drivers side.
The parts dept. salesman looked around and apparently the pcv that is on the passenger side is for a 5.4.
Anyone else here came across this issue in the past, and If you could please snap some pictures of your passenger side PCV setup on your 4.6.

Why do you want to replace the PCV valve? If it rattles when shaken it's good. If it doesn't rattle, clean it out with carb cleaner.

2002 wonderboy, my '98 F150 4.6 Triton uses a push-in PCV on the pass side. Maybe just ask the counter for an earlier ('98) version?

I replaced mine due to a cracked PCV hose leading from the back of the intake manifold to the pass side cvr.

hope this helps!

GLC- I was up under the hood checking on things and the hose going to the PCV was covered in some insulation that was breaking down. Upon my further investigation, I noticed the PCV was a non-motorcraft metal one with a bad looking piece of rubber coming off the end of it. So i went and picked up a new motorcraft PCV with grommet is what lead me to the wondering of which PCV is the correct one for my motor. Now it seems to idle a wee bit better.
And a quick trip to home depot yielded some pipe insulation to replace the deteriorating insulation sleeve on the hose going to the back of the plentum.

I have a 2002 with a 4.6 Romeo, had this happen to me when I went to replace mine. The one I was replacing was the passenger side. Is the one on the drivers side even a PCV valve?

Dealer gave me the screw in one, EV258. Ended up needing EV233, push in type.
