    My 13yr. old and I have got a restoration project underway, low cost :) Welllll....low budget anyway. (rebuild 1st, replace if necessary).

    Maybe I'll get my own rebuild/progress thread started on of these days.

    Just started pulling/cleaning up/tear down of the motor.

    Can I replace the filter mat'l in the Valve Cover Oil Cap? Or do I need to get a new cap?

    I'd try cleaning it first in solvent. I've cleaned quite a few that way with good results. Make sure it is fully dry before reinstalling. If that doesn't work then a new cap.

    Yep, flush it out with solvent, then brake cleaner and let it drain/ blow it out.

    I got a new cap at FLAPS and it was less than $10.... but it wasn't F134.
