You are not going to find a New one this week or by the end of the year. I would not say never, but new old stock is like hitting the lotto.

Your perceived problem might be the valve cover breather, not the cover itself. If you just have to, pull yours and look, clean it, and put it back with a new gasket.

Good luck.

There are two" #1 below is the primary from the bottom of the Air Intake Resonator Box; and, #2 is the secondary from the Intake Manifold itself. #1 has some kind of fiber mesh screen under it which can gat clogged/goobered up with oil/dirt/crud....

are you talking about those? Ya I never took those off when I was cleaning it I will def take them off and clean it and let it maybe soak overnight in a degreaser. Is that screen you talking about replaceable ? Or do I just clean it and put it back?

It is not a serviceable part, nothing is intended to be replaced. There are threads on people that cleaned them and reinstalled at the Colly/Canyon forums.

A crankcase ventilation system is used to consume crankcase vapors created during the combustion process instead of venting them to the atmosphere.

Fresh air is supplied through a filter to the crankcase, the crankcase mixes the fresh air with the blow-by gases and then passed through a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) orificed tube into the intake manifold.

The PCV orificed tube restricts the flow rate of the blow-by gases using a 2.5 mm (0.098 in) orifice located in the camshaft cover tube. If abnormal operating conditions arise, the system is designed to allow excessive amounts of blow-by gases to back flow through the crankcase ventilation fresh air tube into the air cleaner resonator in order to be consumed by normal combustion.
