Default New polishing and coating
The ups man just dropped these off. I'm coating the valve cover clear with my lt1 intake that will be mirror black. Though I'd post some teaser pics.

I hope you relocated your alternator, otherwise those aren't going to fit.

going to use a hole saw and cut a hole in the passenger side for my throttle body hose. They make a set with a hole in each but I only wanted one hole in one side so I can cut it myself. Pick up the little rubber grommet at autozone for a couple of bucks and it's done.

Good plan but what about the oil? You going to use the breather hose for it I'm guessing? You need to think about crankcase pressure as well. Whats your plan there?

Hehehe yea I got that, so in the little hole for the hose goes the oil, but you need to think about crank case pressure as well. Been here done this before, you need to think about it. That little hose isnt going to cut it unless you running a -10an into a vented catch can or something.

Beautuful covers, just trying to help you. Ideal is to vent each cover. You can go off the backside so its remains hidden.

hmmm I don't understand. The way I'll have it run is exactly the same it is stock. The stock passenger valve cover doesn't have a vent on it. The only stock venting is the little tube I'm cutting the hole for. I was told that if I added extra breathers that it could throw off the car by introducing air thats unregistered. I do appreciate your comments though.

The little vented hose is going into air intake.
