The hole in the valve cover is for the PCV system, isn't it? Don't think it's a wise move to weld it closed.

Can't you just replace the wire mesh with a paper filter ? Or is it permanently attached to the cleaner assembly? Even if it is, the wire mesh is easy to clean and continue using. It will work just fine.
