All of the KA valvecovers have that little elbow out the front for ventilation well mine popped out and it's not staying in... Is there a gasket I need or am I just missing something?

Find a socket that is a tight fit in the end of the little steal elbow and tap it in. This should expand the fitting to provide a snug fit in the valve cover. If you have a torch set of butane torch then heat it up a little.

Or you can use loctite if it is still a tight fit, but vibrates out.

There is a small metal clip there that is supposed to keep it on there nice and tight.
