Help! Broke off part of PCV Valve... Options

[aspen]

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:

1. The grommet is not mysterious ... it is necessary in order for the new valve to fit. You gotta expect, if this is first time it's been replaced in who knows how many miles, the rubber turns hard and brittle. Rubber is a natural compound and eventually breaks down and the heat from the engine bay fast tracks this.

2. Try really hard to get it out. It's not a HUGE deal, but it's better if you do.
