grommet problem

[76bonanza]

In an effort to solve my oil in breather problem I went looking for grommets as an easy solution. I have morrso valve covers just stamped steel I think painted to match truck no baffles. At napa I found two grommets one with a baffle build into the grommet and one I can cut my self both say fit 1 1/4 holes. Anyway when I get home both are to loose dont fit tight at all. Is there a wider valve cover hole than 1 1/4 or were these just poorly made?( mr gasket).

Thanks

1 1/2, they'res quite a few sizes.

The only sizes I see in summit and jegs are 1 1/4 and 1.22 OD. I assume the 1.22 is even smaller than 1 1/4.

yea i was going to mention summit earlier, but you're right, i don't remember them selling anything other than 1 1/4. there's probably a bunch of companies out there, try a yahoo or google search, ebay search, and try different auto part stores like autozone, oreily's and advance autoparts instead of trusting napa to have what you need.

Ok went to moroso's web site, they say pcv part #68772 comes with my valve covers. When I look up these numbers they say 1.22 OD. Could it be the mister gasket ones I got just suck. And if I get the moroso ones they will fit better?

that's what you need right there.
