Re: valve covers, engine rebuild, other stuff
So I cleaned up one of those OE valve covers about as good as I could using 2 cans of carb cleaner since I don't have a parts cleaner tub (Maybe I should get one of those from Harbor Freight! But as of now I would have used it once haha). I got it pretty dang clean, but I know I didn't get it spotless, and I'm a little afraid of some of that 25 year old gunk dropping into the engine. So, I was thinking about buying a set of valve covers that are already baffled. I saw on another thread that someone got Edelbrock #4449 valve covers, and looking on Summit Racing, it says they are baffled and the pics look baffled, but in the thread, the poster said there was no oil filler cap hole in them. So, anyone have any experience with any aftermarket valve covers, that are baffled, with or without the filler cap hole, that you would recommend?
Or: jaros44sr - do you have pics of the valve covers you have? Are they clean? How much do they weigh, or how much would shipping be to 76148? I also replaced the oil filler cap with a breather on the passenger's side.
