My DD, a 2006 Ranger 2.3 duratec with M5OD trans, has developed a crack in the PCV plate (air/oil separator?). Looking through various sources, the part seems to be NLA, but there are several companies that make an aluminum replacement. Pretty much everywhere I look, the aluminum ones state "does not fit Ranger". I've thought of buying a used one, but I've had so many issues with used parts in the parts, especially when it comes to plastic parts that are subject to engine heat. Does anyone know if the Radium Engineering (or similar) can be used on the Ranger? The bolt pattern looks to be the same, the only difference I can see is the PCV port points out instead of up. I know I could epoxy or JB Weld my existing plate, but my preference is to replace it, rather than just put a band-aid over it.
