While replacing the valve cover gaskets on my kj today I broke the small tube coming out of the oil filler tube (dont ask). I zip tied it to hold it tight and coated it with JB Weld. My question is will this hold till I can get a new oil filler tube? And does anyone have a source for one?

Why didn't you just replace the PCV valve? That is what you broke and $5 instead of how much and how long it will take to get a oil fill tube now that you JB welded it.
