Hey folks, I'm curious if anyone has found an alternative to an OEM part for the 1HD-FT's crossover pipe to valve cover insulator (OEM part number 17117-17020). It's NLA from the typical suspects (Partsouq, Amayama) and is just a foam spacer that sits between the air intake/crossover pipe and the valve cover. Mine has become oil-soaked and gross after a double whammy of oil in the intake from blow-by (catch can installed), and a bad valve cover gasket leak (now both getting addressed).
This part feels like something that should be easy to cut from a larger generic block of foam - if you can find the right foam material or compound. Has anyone tried this?
