Default Breather...

I cant get my damned breather in. I got the grommet in the hole, but cant get the breather in, then i got the grommet over the breather, and i cant get it back in the hole. Do i just suck ? Or whats goin on. Any tricks to this lil task. Thanks

I need pics....it shouldn't be that complicated. I snapped the grommet in the hole on the valve cover and then the breather goes right in.....

^hahahahaha


I tried to get it in for like an hour....All different angles and such...Maybe i got the wrong size grommet. My damn hand had imprints of the breather from pushing so hard on it. I even oilded it up.....

Its most likely the wrong size. I know that I have a edlbrock breather than I tried to put in a set of Edlebrock valve covers I had and it wouldnt even come close to fitting. You prob got the wrong one.

I'm running Mr Gasket breathers that I got from O'reilly's for 6 bux each. Work great in my FRPP tall valve covers.

They are summit valve covers, and i think its a mr. gasket breather, and i bought the mr.gasket grommets, 1 for the breater, and 1 to plug the other valve cover. Maybe i should try another breather....
