Hello everyone, new to this forum.

I have searched and cannot find anything on the rubber seals that go down through the heads and connect the valve covers together through the breather tube on each cover. (The hose you remove on the outside of the cover firewall side)The rubber is hard and won't make a good seal when the cover is re-installed. The stainless/aluminum plates on the underside of the cover is where these are supposed to seal to.

My question is, does anyone know what these seals are called? I want to order new ones while I have the covers off doing the VC gaskets, but I can't find them on any parts diagrams. I can upload a picture tomorrow of what I'm talking about, in case I am not explaining it well enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks- Nick

Is this just a B6 thing? I didn't see anything like this when I recently did the valve covers on my B7. Here is what one of the valve covers looked like (driver's side, picture taken before replacing the rubber bits):

Not sure but I do know the drivers side on a B6 only has one plug & the passenger side has two.

Must just be a B6 thing, that cover looks wayy different than mine..do your covers have breathers on the top firewall side?
