First time I've seen the rubber grommets used like that, to vent the valve cover. Any cracking every happen from heat cycling or well, what product were they originally designed for? Curious!

Where does the black hose that is attached to the rear grommet run to? And is the PCV valve still connected?

so you just drilled/cut out two big holes in the valve cover?? id imagine at 20+ psi of boost those grommets will weap oil due to excessive crankcake pressure. Im sure the jeep they came off wasn't boosted.

Well it looks like they are in the baffles so oil should be minimal. The holes are large so crank pressure will be fairly low plus the PVC is also still hooked up. I am interested to see how much oil is accumulating in the intake but I'm thinking it's not that bad, just residual, same as factory.
