Tighten it back down. Just turn the whole tube by hand and it will get tight.

Are you saying that it won't get tight? The part that screws into the valve cover, or the top cap?

It's normal for the cap to slightly jiggle around.

Yeah, sounds like the filler neck is busted or the valve cover is bent where the fill neck screws into it.

If the filler neck threads broke, I wonder where they went? Onto the rockers...?
