PCV valve size
I currently have 2 breathers and want to replace one of them with a PCV valve. I'm using the Moroso baffled grommets because the valve covers do not have baffles. Can I get a PCV valve with a 1" body to fit in place of the breather? I remember only seeing PCV valves with a 3/4" body.

I know at stores like Autozone they have the PCV valves on a rack on the floor, and I know I have seen a few with a larger diameter body maybe very close to 1".
My other thought is, and this might seem a bit Bubba, but what if you were to use some rubber hose, like heater hose, and make a sleeve to act as a spacer? It would seal just fine, and the hose is the right thickness that you could easily get from .75" to 1" for a good tight seal.
I was going to be going right by an Autozone when I leave for lunch. If you like I can stop by and measure a few.

He can't just change the grommet because he is using special grommets with baffles.
