Pull engine, remove valve cover, they are in the cam carrier. Technically they are OCV screens. Page EM-31 in the service manual.

Seriously though. If there's loose sealant in the engine there is no reasonable way to get it out. The easy way would be not to drop sealant in the engine in the first place. |

Yep, and avoiding that is tough, when you are removing something the size of the front timing cover, which exposes the oil pan, and various other passages, with old sealant able to flake where ever.

If I was remotely thinking about having a dealer perform this recall, I would pay for an extra day's labor of an experienced tech and personally ask her to:
1. Remove both of the valve covers at the same time.The only thing affected by clogged AVCS filters is AVCS.

A wink wink plastic razor blade works best, but can damage the aluminum parts. Actual plastic razor blades work, but they take much longer. It’s one of those things. Its easy to do it right, it’s even easier to do it wrong. |

Equally legit. Part of mine is an excuse to inspect the screen regardless.

I've modified the tricorder to emit an inverse paraphasic field using stone knives and bear skins.

Regardless, removing that timing cover does expose the oil system to FOD. |
