So here is a dumb question.

Building an L98 got cheap chrome valve covers and the stock oil cap dont fit. The new valve covers do not have the notch where the tabs would fit in then turn.

Anyone run across this before? Where can I get a generic oil cap that will work?

The size is about teh same as stock minus the tabs...

Thanks

 

maybe you should post a picture. Is the cover designed for a screw in style cap and you have one that is twist to lock ?

 

Sounds like you got what you paid for... and even less.

Take em back, put the stock ones back on. At least they keep the oil in.

 

good idea ill post some tonight...


dont really see threads for a screw in. maybe a push in if such a thing? paid 75 bucks for them i doubt im the first person they where sold to so im sure there is something im missing.

 

$75 for chrome centerbolts they saw you coming should be no more that $60 max
