Pcv?

Ok, I just bought some kickass edelbrock valve covers off some dude and realized, where the hell does the PCV go? lol! Looking at the pic, bottom cover, the hole on the right thats suppose to be there isn't. Would/could I fix it up that one of the other holes would be used as the pcv? Do I need the pcv? Anything else I could do here? I was going to run breathers in the other holes but was worried about not having a pcv hole, and thought maybe I could run without or get a bigger one for the bigger holes.

Nice valve covers. Just drill out the hole, thats all you have to do.

Thanks. Would running without a PCV hurt the motor?

I see an oil fill hole, a breather hole and a pcv hole on those VC's, what do you mean?

well the guy that I bought them off, said the hole thats sealed is the one that was used for the PCV, but he didn't run one so he had it welded up. My question was if I could run a PCV thats bigger than the stock piece and use a existing hole instead of drilling. Or not use a pcv at all.

You can get different sized PCV grommets at most parts stores... have a look through there.
