Maybe I should apply some duct tape just to be sure. Lol.
I tried to feel air flow and didn't feel anything, but thats hardly proof. I don't want damage to an engine when it could easily be prevented. The part is on the way from Bernardi, will probably take a week or two to arrive, hope it will fit! I am going to wait to change my oil until everything it back and place so I dont have silicon entering the fresh oil.

I lol'ed at the duct tape recommendations...That's the first thing I thought of also.
Duct tape and adjustable Cresent wrenches made America great.

Never a good idea to order a part before you have the old one in in your hand! But I will be honest and will sheepishly admit that I do not follow my own advice to avoid doing the work twice.
