Default valve covers help...
Had to switch from the perimeter bolt covers to the center bolt covers.

Now when I went to switch everything over something is not fitting. Drivers side cover, is that platic deal for the pcv I believe. Anyway the one I took of the old covers is to big for the new ones...

Search is down otherwise I am sure I would of found my answer by now.

Thanks.

Alright, now the coil packs are bugging the **** out of me.

I really believe that they are not different...but they are not fitting at all for me??? I cant thread them into the bracket...seem to small for them.

I really dont know why I am having such a hard time with this part of the swap.

Are there any differences between the coils over the years?

pretty please. They are not fitting into those holes on the valve cover bracket. They are also to big for the holes and to small for the threaded holes
