Hey everyone, first time poster long time lurker. I installed the UPR catch can months ago and started smelling burning oil almost immediately. I finally traced the problem back to the Upgraded PCV valve which you can purchase along side your catch can. It is fully seated, but wiggles freely back forth and there is obvious oil seepage coming from where it mates to the valve cover. I felt inside the hole and the pins seem to be missing, i assume i broke them off when i tightened the PVC valve down. Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas on a fix aside from replacing the entire valve cover?

Thanks for any input!
