I Buy a PCV valve!

Well, this valve seems to be the last part I need to finish a complete engine rebuilt.
I have some (3) M38 PCV valves. spring operated, but I'm reluctant to install one of these on a 6 cyl engine. I been told these springs were specially calibrated for M38 engines.
I have 2 Weapon Carrier manuals showing a counterweight operated PCV valve. Similar to M37 ones but not identical. I've replaced valves, guides, mains and rod bearings pistons, rings etc. I just want this engine working as stock, no more, no less.
So the big question is, Does anybody has a M37 PCV Valve, and want to sell?

I don't need a super NOS one, just a good working unit.
For those who didn't know, I'm in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I'll pay USPS priority or whatever. The problem is the only way to pay this is
through Paypal. I have no Intl Visa nor Money Order.
BTW I asked about Valve guides positions on an earlier post. Now solved, they were changed as Charles Talbert said.
THANKS!

Do NOT mix and match for the correct one-I draw again on my Valvoline experience, and have seen incorrect PCV valves actually suck up and deposit the engine oil in all kinds of places it doesn't belong. Be sure to use the correct valve.

You're right Gary. I been using one of those M38 valves but to be honest never get a correct idle speed, I tried the spring change, reboring the central hole on the inner piston with erratic results. I have to say that PCV valve was mounted on a dead engine, poor compression, worse valves etc the good point was it has good oil pressure. Until a rod bearing literally disappeared.

I been digging on my manuals and found these numberts for that PCV valve

2805-423-2797
7410950 (19207)

This engine is a T245A (late type)

Hope this helps.
Thanks
