pcv valve
Can someone please tell me where i can find the proper pcv valve and rubber grommet for stock steel valve covers? I have bought various combinations from parts stores and i cant seem to find a good fit. Thanks for any help.

It's true that grommets made lately in China tend to NOT FIT RIGHT
Rubber too hard
hole too small and/or
space for rocker cover is poorly made, such that after install the inner hole is too small.
I struggled for an hour with a HELP brand POS and finally after ruining the new paint getting it back out to find that even out of the cover it would not accept the PCV valve... bought a proper soft rubbery GM part which fit perfectly and accepted the valve with a light press and a snap JUST LIKE IT SHOULD...
can you buy an NOS grommet say on epay?
Pricey but correct
what is your time worth?

I can assure you that there will be no problems installing these parts in factory valve covers, or getting the PCV in place.
