N/A_gets_you_laid

I'm doing a head swap for a 98' perimeter bolt and I bought these valve covers for center bolt heads off ebay. The oil fill tube won't fit because there are two metal protrusions on the new valve cover, but the perimeter bolt valve cover only has one. I ordered an oil fill tube from an 02' and that doesn't fit either. The valve covers came off a GM crate engine.
Any tips are appreciated.

The cap wont fit either because of the second metal notch

The cap should screw strait to the cover, no need for the tube.

those are ls6 valve covers, i think you need the tube.

I tried that but with no success.
The cap is made for only one metal notch, not two.
Back to square one.

Do you think they are L92 or LS3 valve covers?

So LS6 valve covers have two separate metal notches like the pictures I took?

off topic i know, but do you need to have those PCV ports plugged or will it make a difference if they are still hooked up?

GM showed that the LS6 fill tubes have the same part # as the LS1 oil fill tube, which I already have..

So that's eliminated. :/

I went by GM today but they didn't have any oil fill tubes to compare next to mine.
My luck..

I'm running a LS6 pcv system.
The valley cover has a built in pcv system in it that connects to the hose.
I would imagine you need some sort of ventilation..

any chance you can file one of the tabs off?

N/A_gets_you_laid

If I file it down the oil tube will be facing the wrong direction..
Plus after I do that, there's no going back.

Anyone out there have an LS3 or an L92 that can take their oil tube off for me and check?
They remove by pressing down on the tube and turning counterclockwise..
