Re: Looking for a Aluminum valve cover

It's not difficult. I machined my friend's Offy valve cover for his PCV valve.

Yeah, was going to say that any machine shop should be able to handle it.

Re: Looking for a Aluminum valve cover

I used an Offy on one of my sixes. Didn't have a baffle so I used a breather like this to hook the pcv to. It worked like a baffle. Used a clear vac hose on it to watch for any oil getting by. Never saw any.

And I used a breather like this near the back on the passenger side to let air in.

Re: Looking for a Aluminum valve cover

It's easier to use a baffled grommet like these...

This is what I used for my friend's Offy VC in the photo.
