why not just put a pcv valve into the location where its supposed to be and just not run a hose to it. since it doesnt let anything out, wouldn't that work? or if you are uncomfortable, you can run a line off the pcv to no where.

I plugged mine with a bolt and washer and then filled everything smooth with body filler. I did the same with the grooves and also shaved the lettering from the valve cover.

I've done it twice, its simple.
I put a screw with tightly wrapped electrical tape into the PCV opening.

I kept the PCV valve and plugged it but finding the right size machine screw in my garage. I wrapped the threads in electrical tape to make it air tight, then slowly screwed it in.

Believe it or not, no. I was concerned it would, but it looks good as new.
