I didn't come across this in the archives. The driver-side breather top (oil fill cap) is very loose. I can flip it lightly with my pinky finger & it'll just fall off. I'd like a tighter fit. Can someone tell me the fix? Thanks.

I put a shim on top of the rubber gasket, mine was loose also. seems to work fine now.

If it is a factory one, you can bend the ears a bit to make it tighter...if not..a thicker gasket or a shim

A factory valve cover breather Steve? I wasn't aware they made one.

It's a breather from a TR vendor.
Joe, thanks for the advice. I'll shim it.

Kenne-Bell and probably a few other vendors made a breather that went on top of the stock oil fill tube. Sealed it on with RTV.

Worked fine in my car for about 10 years.

So yeah it could be a stock tube....

Never underestimate the power of Wood....

My tube is anything but stock. And I never underestimate the power of Wood.

Is it loose at the bottom? Or is the kn filter falling off the top?

 

[Carolinaturbot6]

The filter falls off of the top.

Glue it on...or get a new filter..those things are a pos at the best...I got a couple of them...LOL
