Valve cover and seals help
I just got the DIY overhaul kit from R&D factory. For $100 you get the seals, a new oem pcv with oem seal, and oem gaskets. for $60 you can just get the seals. Those are the prices including shipping. Not cheap but at least you dont have to buy new valve covers. I got a used set of valve covers and bought a 1 & 7/8" hole saw from ace hardware and cut the old ones out. Once the old ones are out (if you cut the holes centered) you are left with perfect sized holes to insert the new ones like you would on any other valve cover with replaceable seals. Mine came out great. I painted them too before putting the new parts in. As long as you take your time and get the holesaw centered they should come out great and you shouldn't have any issues. I made an insert to wedge into the holes to center the holesaw. The cool part is with the 1 & 7/8 hole saw, the hole you cut in the baffle to get the old ones out and insert the new ones, does not penetrate into the area where the baffle is plastic welded around the holes. Hard to explain but basically you dont end up with a baffle that is any less effective. Just channels to place the new seals into still separated by a wall.
The only place I could find one locally that size was ace hardware. Otherwise the only option I had was online. Lowes, sears, and home depot in my area didn't even have sets that contained one that size. Most jump from 1 & 3/4 to 2 ". Also I used a 1.25" hole saw to cut an insert that i made from some 1/4" plastic sheet. The holesaws "waste material" is the ring I used to center the large holesaw.
