| JDSWHITE93 | L98 valve covers for LT1 ? | ||

I bought a set of centerbolt valve covers for a L98 and I want to use them on my LT1. They are polished Aluminum however the have extra holes. I know the one hole is for the p.c.v. so how do I make these work ? I was thinking running a breather in each cover or having them welded up.
Ideas or suggestions including the p.c.v ? |

Welding is going to mess up the polished aluminum.
The push-in breathers are about $8 each and fit a 1.22 dia hole. Find some metal pushin hole plugs at Home Depot and epoxy them in? |

Yeah I know welding them will mess up the polished aluminum but couldn't I just have them redone ? I was thinking worst case weld them up and then have them chrome plated. I like the push in breather idea though very much thanks!!! p.s. I know I am spending way too much money messing with a set of valve covers but I am a weirdo. lol |

It looks like I could put a breather in the one cover and reroute the p.c.v. valve to the top of the other.Nobody else has done this ? I wonder if the p.c.v. valves are different or again if it matters if they are.

No you can't . The PCV system is a closed system on EFI.The air that goes into the system is metered. If you run an open breather then it is just a big vac leak; the ECM can not compensate for the unmeasured air. FWIW; my covers came with grommets for the breathers that were solid and required cutting open to make the breather functional.Beats welding This type http://store.summitracing.com/largeim ... ommets&img=mrg-6376_w.jpg |

THANK YOU !!!! That's an easy fix, now all I have to do is polish them real nice and reroute the P.C.V. valve to the top of the one cover rather than the side. I am suprised this hasn't been dealt with a hundred times over as many of the aftermarket centerbolt covers are not exact replacements. |
