Default Rocker cover gasket and grommets.

I wanted to replace the rocker cover gasket, the grommets, and the reducing boot on the CCV breather tube all at the same time, but I'm having a hard time finding all the parts in one place and it's turning into a major pain in the .

Team Cherokee has the complete CCV breather tube assembly as a kit, but I don't need half that stuff. That and that and the rocker cover gasket are around $80 and they don't tell you how much shipping is until after they get your credit card #.

Searching for the grommets has been a pain because the other sellers I found list the grommets by size rather then by application and nobody seems to carry just the boot for the CCV line.
I'm sure I can mod something for the boot, and I can get the cover gasket cheap enough locally, but I definitely need the grommets too and shipping will be more then the part if I just order them.

So the point of all this is...

Has anybody got a 1 stop shopping source for this stuff where I don't get crap I don't need AND sodomized for my effort?

The CCV elbows are most easily found at the dealership (I couldn't find them anywhere else).

The CCV grommets can be found at Autozone (or any other auto parts store I'm sure). Search the "Routine Maintenance" section of Autozone online.

The valve cover gasket (or rocker arm cover gasket) can be found at any auto parts store. Get a Felpro rubber valve cover gasket. Don't cheap out and get a cork gasket or you'll likely find yourself replacing the gasket again in a year or even less
