Valve covers

06-10-2002, 11:56 PM

Hey guys, the first mechanic I had didn't know squat and I ended up having to get another mechanic. I already swapped out covers at that time. I have a problem with pressure building up and either blowing oil out or valve cover gaskets. I have to have the baffles, no doubt about that. I have an 1/2" intake spacer. I'm looking for ideas to combat this problem, kinda like what Hissing Cover was saying but those internal baffles sound good too. I'm just looking for ideas and I want something that looks halfway decent.

I never heard not to use breathers on maf cars, where did you hear that? Not flaming, I'm really curious. Right now I have the valve cover holes capped and the gasket is leaking like crazy.

I just can't stand pulling up to a light and smoke coming from under the hood.

Bad89stang, I will sell these covers when I replace them. If you'd like I will take a pic and send it to you, they may not be the ones you are thinking about. I also have the Comp Cams covers over at the mechanics house, if they are still laying around I'll sell those as well. I think I have a strut tower brace that is new in the box that I will sell, if I can find it.
