What do u mean
they are center bolt valve covers?
they should have 3 bolt holes in the center on each one
or do you mean the breather hole and oil fill and pcv valve hole?
You may have to get someone to punch holes in them
you need the pcv and breather hole
you can get away without the oil fill by removing the breather to fill.
