Hi Josh,
Thanks for the note, and just so I am clear, are you saying that the hole in
that tube would be there to ensure that not too much vacuum is being generated
by the engine through air filter assembly? That way it prevents drawing too
much air (and potentially oil) from the valve cover
I have a similar cushion issue. Someone left a hammer on the cushion, it
