Valve cover grommets
Building up my engine, run to one issue at chalk marks.
D-shaped ( original style) valve cover grommet with .75 ID to mount ME Wagner adjustable PCV-valve. Does such thing exist? Google didnt turn out anything else than #NOE 6301043 with an ID of .71" which is good. Price to Finland would be $50 when it would be at my hands.
Does Ford D-shaped grommet fit, is it same size for opening on valve cover? #D0OZ-6892
Im not paying $50 for PCV grommet, if nothing else surfaces, ill make a collar from 1" to 3/4" and bond it to my PCV-valve.
Currently i have 3 different grommets at hand, with everyone having 1" ID. Thanks.

Did you actually read my post or just posting nonsense for the sake of it? .75" ID is what i need. Those you linked state 1" and ~.5" ID right on the description. Ive found stock sized grommets too, plenty..

Conclusion: Made an adapter by cutting and sanding from 1"x3/4" plated brass thread reducer, pipe fitting.
Screws nicely to 1" opening at valve cover grommet, and 3/4" sized body on PCV installs to that adapter tightly, using square o-ring as seal. Cut a groove on reducer where that o-ring sits. Thanks.

So you wanted stock looking grommets in a non stock application. Any universal grommet would have worked, obviously what you are using is not STOCK, why bother trying it to make it that way, all the stock parts are still available.

Now being so smart, link me an universal d-shaped grommet with an ID of .75". And dont tell me to shovel round grommet to d-shaped hole.

I used a round grommet just fine with RTV, mine is also basically the same cover. Then I found a stock replacement, looked stock. Use the proper size, problem SOLVED. I am sure everyone on hear uses a Ford grommet in their Olds valve covers. Sorry for ruining your life.
