So I have been looking around and still have not found a definite replacement for the RB series valve cover grommets. The OEM ones are like $5 bucks a piece and I can't bring myself to buying 40 @ $5 a pop. Anyone have any luck replacing these cheaper?

Thanks.

Somebody said that you can use J30 grommets for like $1.50 a pop but I cant find them anywhere. Only ones I'm seeing nowadays that are readily available are Raw Brokerage grommets for $60 for a set of 20. So that equals to about $3 per.

Edit: I actually found some for a J30 all of a sudden:

search google and find the part number you should be able to find them for about 1.30 a piece if you look hard enough. they used to be like 85 cents but the merchants caught on

Yah, the once I found above are the lowest I've seen so far. Even for the Ishino or Nippon Reinz, some places have them for $3-5 a pop. Also, the part numbers are cross referencing, not just J30s but also Z32s.

Actually talking to a customer rep to see if they actually got them in stock.

Here you guys go! Just paid $32 for 20 of them! Best price I could find online!

wow..is the one on the right how they originally looked? I had no idea. Why couldn't you use a M6 or whatever they are with a washer and a lock washer?

It was me, the Ishino's were the ones I bought but back when I bought them they were .95 each. Then after letting anyone know the price doubled :/
