I thought this would be a part you never needed replacing. What are some mileage ranges that these fail/crack/get damaged at?
Since your PCV system is built into the VC and as someone has mentioned, not serviceable, that alone is reason to change the VC and gasket together. Warpage due to heat is the other reason. Aftermarket has it's place but not here.
