Hey folks while trying to install these into the new valve cover I broke them. They were not broken to bad, but will need to be replaced. I need to know what they are and what they do. Are there after market parts I can get that will look better, or do I need to replace them with factory parts?http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac335/Switch_Knuckles/002valvecoverparts.jpg

Yes, you will need to replace them. I guess you call them valve cover breather fittings. You need a little vacuum on the crank case so it won't spit oil out the dip stick.

Valve cover vents and they are very proud of them at the stealership.

I tried getting them out, that is what broke them in the first place. I was thinking about going to home depot and getting 2 rubber grommets and a few fittings from auto parts store. Is there a trick to getting them out that I am not seeing?

I busted mine trying to get them out....The engine environment is rude to nice soft rubbery things...Have had no luck finding them...so to the dealer in the spring I go...

I actually went to O'reily and got a few PVC grommets. Seems to work just fine so far.
