Boy, what a help that was. Anyone have anything intelligent, or better yet, relevant to say?
Anyways, does anyone know if there is anything like this in the aftermarket or is it strictly a DIY.

Ok dudes enough of that shat. You should most likly get a Breather. Any auto parts store should have them. They just pop right on.

The question was if there were any PLUGS available for the valve covers. No, I should not use a breather, it will cause problems, they usually don't fit stock valve covers anyway (at least none of the ones pictured do). The crankcase breather hole you keep refering to causing problems is the PCV system. My system is not on my valve covers at all, so my car will start and run fine if they are plugged. Apparently no one makes a plug specifically for this application or someone would said somthing pertaining to it by now.

Iroc n roll,
I have the stock centerbolt valve covers. On the drivers side, I have my PCV valve. On the pass. side, I used the factory gromet, and installed another PCV valve, but didn't hook any hose up to it. If your looking for a clean look, this may not fill the bill, but it worked for me.
