I experienced the pop cap phenomenon, myself. I bent the edge out a bit and shoved it back in place and then coated the top with RTV.
NOTE TO ALL... try to cut above the level of the cap insert. it protects lubricant on a bearing on the top of the drive gear, though it is not under pressure from the oil sytem.

Will these methods work for a 94 3.1? I went to look at mine and it was hard to tell.
the parts you need are the same(gasket, paper backup gasket), but I would pull the plenum and intake instead of the exhaust for access. Only the LQ1 requires the hack, all other engines don't.Originally Posted by eeltam

I didn't have to relieve fuel pressure, I just lifted the fuel rail our of the way, held temporarily out of the way with a zip tie
