V6 chrome valve covers

Two questions.

The aftermarket covers only have 2 holes, as the OE has 3. PCV CCV and Oil filler. What do I do?

Also, can I I fit the taller covers on the 2.8 MPFI? Whats the difference in the taller ones and the shorter ones?

Which aftermarket ones are you looking at? Provide a link. You can go with Fiero valve covers if you want taller or different ones.

Cute. You don't need the Oil Filler hole, just pull the PCV out when you need fresh oil, slide a funnel through the grommet, fill it up, then place the PCV back in when you are done...

A guy on here a year ago used those exact covers. He actually drilled out a hold(carefully) and added a rubber gromet. So either you can do that or do what streetlethel said above.

Re: V6 chrome valve covers

And that would solve my problem? And then just plug the hole in the intake?
