May I use my stock PVC hoses on tall style valve covers?

I was thinking the tall valve covers would be too high for the stock PVC pieces to snap into. How hard will it be to get these to mount securely into the taller covers?

I have some pics below. One shows the valve covers I'm thinking of buying because I need a taller valve cover for the roller rockers I'm buying.

The other picture is just of my current valve cover with the PVC valve hooked on it. It is of the driver side valve cover.

Should fit fine, but if not its just 3/8" rubber hose. You can get it at Auto Zone for about a dollar a foot.

you may need to grab a new rubber grommet for the pcv to sit in on the valve cover. your local auto part store should have a decent variety to look through. nothing majorly difficult
