Default What valve covers on a 402??

The stock valve covers won't fit on L92 heads with offset rockers. I am trying to keep the coils in the stock location for stock appearance. I want to know what everyone else is using. Maybe some pics too.

If you are using stock rockers, the valve covers are exactly the same for the L92 as for any other LS engine....

Really? Everyone I've talked with had to grind some on the baffle.

After the dremel, I still need to up with a way to deflect oil so it won't get sucked into the tube that goes to the throttle body. Any ideas?

Get covers for an L92 engine or an LS3.

I said nothing about modifying them. I just said they were the same(now). I have heard the arguement go either way. I have had customers say they had to, I have also seen them have to problems.

Does this part number have provisions for ventilation? I thought left and right would be different, because of the oil filler cap. Pictures of top and bottom would be nice in finding a solution.
