? for anyone useing the GMPP Chrome Center Bolt Valve Covers

I installed the Gm Performance Parts Chrome center bolt valve covers the ones with the red bow tie on my 350 TPI. On the right hand valve cover the 90 degree elbow for the PCV system will not fit these covers the hole is larger than the stock hole. The elbow connect's to the pcv pipe that goes to the TB (I think) the intake is all apart and I'm not sure where it goes just yet What did ya'll do to make it work or Can I just install a breather cap and block off the other end. Thanks

I'm not sure what isn't fitting. On mine, the PCV fit fine.

On the other side, I didn't have the piece going to the valve cover from the rubberjoint, so I took an old PCV valve, gutted it, and stuck it in. Works good for me.

RCR, It's the 90 degree Elbow grommet on the RH side valve cover that don't fit. I called GM today and they said they know the hole is larger than stock but don't have a service part for it so I'll see what I can find at Discount Auto Parts and I'll have to rig something up.
travsirocz, The covers run about $100.00 for the pair
