I was replacing my PCV valve this afternoon, and had a bit of difficulty getting it out...
Now two things: 1) The new one doesn't fit - the hole is much bigger than the valve. I'd assume this is the mysterious grommet? 2) There's a bit of the old whatever stuck in there. I tried to fish it out to no avail. I'm not too concerned, everything I've seen shows only two very small holes that go from there the PCV valve goes to the rest of the valve cover, unless someone here knows the 5SFE in the Celica is different... Here's a picture of the old PCV Valve:

Yea. Don't worry about it. What I did was took off my valve cover and flipped it over and fished it out. Once it got close enough to where I have grab it with pliers. I used the pliers to pull it out. AutoZone has a rubber grommet that's a universal fit. I too have a 5SFE and the universal fitted along with the new PCV valve I purchased from AutoZone. Don't sweat it though. It's nothing really major.
