Tall non-baffled valve covers on LG4

I have a set of Moroso Tall non-baffled valve covers that someone gave to me. I want to put them on my LG4 when I do my intake manifold but I'm not sure how to set them up since they don't have baffles. Does anyone know? I'm pretty sure a PCV valve will suck up a lot of oil.

Why bother? They'll allow the PCV to suck up oil, get in the way of accessories, and won't improve anything.

You can put the PCV valve in a baffled grommet.

Should I just weld baffles in there? I don't have any accessories, just an alternator. Has anyone used these?
