Valve cover question

Stang951 · 03-27-2004, 11:19 PM

I have a set of Motorsport aluminum covers, the tall ones with the red writing. I have a pcv valve in the drivers side cover, and a breather in the other one. The passenger side breather hits the drier and has caused dripping of oil onto the header. Do I really need the breather on the passenger side since I have the pcv valve, or can I get rid of it?

You only need one vent that either vents to atmosphere or back into the motor. You should be able to buy a plug to fill the existing hole. Thats what I did when I ran those valve covers.
