Time to replace my old centerbolt vette valve covers. There getting old and there no cleaning to em. I would like to replace everything thats conected and considering ive never messed with im not 100% on what i need.

These are the ones ive going with since I can't find any vette covers that are new.
GM Covers

So what else?
Gourmets?
PCV Valve?
Oil filler cap(or is one included)?
What about mounting hardware.....is that just the bolts?


I would like to get everything from summit so if you have the part#'s just list them.

 

Those look like the ones i have, but i went with black ones. All you get with those are the valve covers and the center bolts and the rubber spacer washers that go between the center bolt head and the valve cover. You will have to buy the oil filler cap seperate, they should have a matching one in the catalog. The valve covers will come with 2 grommets (I dont remember might only be one) the grommet will already be in one opening and maybe another one is loose. Theres 3 openings in the covers all together, 1 is for the oil filler cap, another for the pcv valve and another for the ccv hose or tube

 

Could I use 2 of these on both side of the valve covers? Ive got my oil filler cap and a pcv valve for the ds, but what do I use for the ps? Mine has just a black elbow attached to a hose. Could I just buy a extra pcv valve for that side to or is there a different part that goes there.

this is the pcv valve im getting: PCV Vavle

 

Breather in one side, PCV in the other.

 

 

That's what I'm planning... no hole for a filler, so I will just have to pull either the pcv valve or breather to add oil... oh well.

Have you looked on ebay at valve covers?
I found some centerbolts which are polished aluminum... they look just as great as the ones you are lookin at IMO, but they only cost me 85 shipped.

They are simular to these:
Valve Covers

As far as bolts, they were provided, it's just 4 bolts per cover.
I got a gromet from Autozone for my PCV valve, and I bought a K&N look-a-like breather for like 8 bux.

So basically, aftermarket valve covers, aftermarket K&N Look-a-like breather (came with correct gromet etc) stock style PCV valve, and I'm set. Like I said, only catch is I will have to pull the breather or pcv to fill my oil... oh well.

 

Get a grommet for a 1" breather. It makes it a lot easier to pour oil into the larger hole.

 

so when you use a breather do you just cap the empty place on the TB?

 

These valve covers should have three holes between the two of them 1. is on the passenger side for the ccv or a breather, then there are 2 on the drivers side, one of them is a pcv hole and the other is the OIL FILLER hole.

This is what im getting:

KNN-62-1490
K&N Crankcase Vent Filter

PRO-141-107
Proform Stamped Steel Chevrolet Valve Covers

SPE-4298
PCV Valve, Steel, Zinc, Each

TRD-9170
Trans-Dapt Performance Chrome Oil Fill Caps

Is that everything to get the job done? Is everything im getting going to fit in there holes on the valve covers. Also is a push-in filter and oil filler cap ok as far as leaking goes, or do I need screw ons?

Thx for the help guys
