Default Rocker cover woes

Having picked up my nice new rocker cover at the Southern meet last night I decided to fit it this evening

Off comes the old rocker cover in record time and the lovely clean new one gets fitted in it's place Everything is looking great...right up to the point that I go to fit the PCV valve....only to find that Honda in their wisdom have decided to change the fitting on the later rocker cover to a threaded fitting in the side of the cover as opposed to the push in type on the top that my car has Off comes nice new rocker cover and back on goes the old one

Why don't you bloody leave thing alone Honda

If it'll reach the hole still, just drill the thread out and fit a gasket/gromit if necessary.

Will be a shame if you can't fit it Eric...the cover looked good last night.

Because the manufacturers have to find ways to make assembly more efficient, cheaper or better quality so they can pass the benefits on to us so we'll buy more cars and so on........
