The little T thing that goes from the valve cover to the catch can broke off on my sr, so i was wondering if there is some way to like glue it back in there and what type of material would be useful. Something high heat. Just want to get some opinions. Thanks.

Glue???
You are kidding right? Just get the old one out, and buy a new one to put in.

Yeah, it's threaded. Get the old one (or what's left of it) out, and buy a new one, then thread it in.

1. Clean the T and the hole real well
2. Mix some JBWeld
3. Coat the part of the T to be inserted back to the valves-cover as well as the hole on the valvecover with the the JB Weld
4. Insert T into hole one valve cover.
5. Let cure, and reinstall valves-cover (unless your valves-cover is still one the engine.
Atleast that's what I did and worked for me on the KA for the other valve- cover fitting. Mine just came loose but didn't break.
Edit: I didn't know that that part (the T) is threaded, sorry I couldn't help.

wait what? its not threaded, its the T on the right side of the engine if you're looking straight at it. Mine is not threaded for sure. I shouldnt say it broke off, it more like just came out of there. I'll try the JB weld i have a lot left over from my crappy radiator.
T is not threaded.
I took mine out and ran AN line to catch can.

the T fitting is just pressed in.
find another one and press it in.
or change it to -AN like many have done including me.

There is so much misinformation in this thread.
On SRs, the PCV is on the US passenger side.
The T is part of the PCV system. Open up an FSM and see.
The black canister near the turbo is not a catchcan; it's the air-oil separator. The other side of the T goes to the intake.
The T is not threaded.
