What about these Valve Covers?

So I want to purchase these valve covers but I am not sure if my PCV will fit in that hole??and also the reason as to why I wanna replace my covers is not only to look better but also because I kinda f*cked up my stock ones by spray painting them with some cheap no heat resistant paint so now they just look horribly. Every time I try to show off my engine everything looks clean except for those darn covers.

So pretty much I just wanna make sure before I buy these that I wont run into any problems, thanks! Also do you guys recommend those valve cover hold downs?thanks!


heres the link to the cover

*Rubber grommets for the PCV/breather holes included, If they are not the correct size for the breather or pcv you have buy the correct ones.

I believe it comes with a pair of 8094 1 1/4 grommets so you might want to measure your pcv and breather before you order incase you need additional grommets.

Re: What about these Valve Covers?

You definitely want to install a breather cap and not a sealed cap on one side. If you still have a stock air cleaner you can get a breather cap that has the provision for hose hook up to connect to the breather. Keeps oil mist from creeping out of the cap and settling on your clean rocker covers.

Re: What about these Valve Covers?

Not sure if they fit but I really like the proform v/c's.
The part numbers 141-92x through 141-930.
I think since they are a tall v/c they won't fit. I hang them up at my work for display and always loved the finish
