The plastic one? I have one you can have for $10 plus shipping. PM me.

I'm guessing it is plastic. It goes over the can and underneath the valve cover and stops oil from getting into the intake.

OH THAAAT!! It's actually IN the engine... No I don't have that.

Any idea where I can find one?

It's #1. Should be easy to find at a scrap yard.

Awesome. Thank you. I saw realoem.com and saw that exact piece but was unsure if that was the correct part. Thanks for confirming that

I may be wrong but from my understanding its actually not needed for the engine to function - I thought it was something to do with keeping lubrication around the intake cam but my mechanic said its just for sound deadening?

I think it's just there so oil doesn't spray out when the oil cap is removed.
