    Timing belt went. Lost valve cover grommets

    Welp, lost my timing belt on the way to work in my 1988 LX-i. Was able to work on the belt in the parking lot of my workplace, and I'm gonna start the reassembly today. One problem though, I LOST ONE OF THE VALVE COVER GROMMETS. It popped off and flew who knows where . Does anybody know where I can buy these grommets? For now, in a pinch I'm going to make one out of some rubber or something to slow the leak. I have a lathe, and maybe I can make one out of some UHMW? Thoughts?

    They usually come with the valve cover gasket but I have bought them separate. But I have gotten a valve cover gasket and them not being in there years ago.
