If you have a decent speed shop, or even just an OReillys around where you live, I suggest you bring your valve cover and grommet there and try out what they have until you find one that fits.

Which means the stock PCV valve fits perfectly.. The stock push-in style breather works in one of the oil filler locations too... 7428045-340-1.jpg (113 downloads) "The Armies of our ancestors were lucky, in that they were not trailed by a second army of pencil pushers."
