I bought these centerbolt valve covers from LG and now I find out my oil fill tube will not fit. Does anyone know what this one is from?

that's a driver side valve cover. you need a passenger side valve cover for the oil fill tube.

I have a mint set from a 10,000 2003 Z06 with the oil fill neck, cap, etc.
Complete with bolts too! Let me know if you want to buy them!

Hadn't thought about it. Since you already know what they are worth make me a fair offer for the complete setup!

They are both drivers side ones.

When you get a passanger side one, make sure you have 2 hose attachments.


Here is what the other one should look like (plus one extra outlet to attach a hose on the back of the cover):

Same thoughts as above....you got two drivers side covers. My 99 drivers side takes the version with the larger opening for the PCV valve. Don't know what year takes the version with that nipple extension.

I think it might be an LS2/LS7 cover. Not 100%...
