Washable Breather Caps for Mopar Cast Aluminum Covers

[coalman]

Any recommendations? Thanks Another question, what is the correct hole size for Magnum Valve Covers push in breathers? Mine measures 1.300. Thanks again

I always used the MP units that suggest washing with ....
Kerosene!

I just dunked them in the parts washed, then used the faucet to flush them out.

Back in the early days (way before my time) my dad said it was common to see an open pail of kerosene at the gas station so you could rinse them out.

K&N makes nice clean-able breathers. And they make them with just about any size nipple you need. I think on my Edelbrock valve covers I used a 62-1120 on one side and a 62-1130 on the other side. But you can get grommets in just about any OD/ID you need also. Crankcase Vent Breather Filters | K&N

Where do you get grommets for Magnum Aluminum Valve covers, the material is .450 thick at grommet hole, the largest grommet grove I have seen is .250. Thanks

I used a Ford Racing grommet set.

Sounds like Mopar should have spotfaced those PCV/breather areas to reduce the thickness. If they didn't supply grommets, I'm not sure what you are supposed to do. 1/4" thick is the max.

Do you have a part number?

I am just going to live with it. I purchased Mr. Gasket P/N 5425 Grommets, the lower lip forms a good seal and they are baffled. Thanks
