after doing some work under the hood on my 3.8 '90 Tbird, I had a whistling under the hood that I only 4 days later got to investigate.. I drove maybe 40-50 miles (mostly HARD trying to get it warmed up) during this time.. I found that I had inadvertantly knocked the PCV valve out of the valve cover, so the valve just hung there. my question is, does this have the potential to cause any actual damage?
PCV valve off, any issue?

I would say no, you just allowed more pollution into the atmosphere since the PCV valve was not connected to suck out the blowby vabors from the valve cover/crankcase. Not preaching, just highlighting... I drive a truck after all.
