[QUOTE="Oldfart, post: 1919364, member: 25546"] You need a pretty good slot on the front edge of the engine cover for the tube. Angle up pretty hard from the bottom of your cut to hog out the foam on the back side where you can't see it, to maintain clearance. That pipe has a pretty good upwards angle to it. I used both a razor knife and a Dremel. It's just foam, so it's super easy to work on, just be careful because it easy to overdo it with the Dremel if you're not. I would guess that you might be able to just install the cover without modifying it. If you push down on the cover moderately hard, you can force it to line up, and put the nuts on. It is definitely pressing fairly hard on the pipe at that point, though. Maybe with the engine heat, it might kind of reshape itself, but I won't do work like that. Especially when the PCV pipes are plastic. There is definitely pressure against the front pipe, if you don't modify it. You can see how much I cut away, and it is still close to the pipe. It probably took me an hour to shape it how I wanted, but at least that's easy work, just a little time consuming.
