okay so ive been searching around and cant seem to find a good answer, my question is what holds the connection for the breather on the valve cover nice and tight to the valve cover? mine moves in and out and is causing me to get more air past the MAF and causing a check engine. from what ive read up its a little clip of some sort but i havent found a name, would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me out wanna fix this asap. heres a pic of what im talking about:

Nothing, its just pressed in there. You can wiggle it out by hand.

Seal it up with a tiny bit of RTV?

I have the same problem, I bought my KA with it like that. I havent tried to fix it, I'll have to see what happens. Mine is an extra engine i'm building thats why i'm not to worried about it.
