That was me! Thanks to RDL for a fast, cordial, helpful response! Seems obvious now, but I was not sure! Great forum!
As I told him...
"Great. That's perfect! Seems like a "duh" moment now. I was just looking at that piece a couple days ago as I was picking individual pieces of dog food out from under my fuel rail with a retriever "pick up" tool... Dern mice!
Thanks a bunch for the speed and courtesy! I have to admit reading some things on a CCV delete and an oil catch can are making me ambivalent about which direction to head! I need to do more research on those alternatives.
Best wishes!"
...unless you guys want to tell me why the delete is a bad idea!? Heh...
Cheers!
