is Renix 4.0L valve cover fresh-air CCV hole diameter same as for '94 4.0L & later ?
I have an '87 4.0L XJ ... am looking to replace the valve cover's front CCV fresh-air-in connection with a more simple grommet-elbow and flex-hose (fuel line) directly to the air filter intake ... instead of buying the NAPA replacement large plastic tube OE set-up (#7151367 and maybe #7151366 also).
I'm looking to do this so that in the future it will be less likely that I'll break the large plastic CCV fresh-air tube when cleaning the built-up sludge... since I have intentions of clearing that fresh-air-in line more often in the future.
I'm not looking to replace the '87XJ's valve cover itself... just the cover's front hole tube set-up.
I've read thru a large# of blow-by and valve cover postings today (I'm getting worn out from reading all that stuff).
But I have not found a posting regarding whether the later-90's XJ valve-cover CCV (PCV) grommet Dorman/Help #42344 and matching #47079 elbow is a good fit in the front CCV hole for a Renix aluminum valve cover (note: Dorman lists the OE#s for those 2 parts as 2946079 and 53030497).
I could order both the NAPA #7151367 direct-replacement for the '87XJ and also order the 2 Dorman part#s for the later-90's valve cover CCV hole ... but if the later-90's parts fit the '87 valve cover CCV hole then I don't know if NAPA will take back the Renix part.
