oil baffle
Does any one know of any oil baffles for valve covers. They have them in summit but are 23 bucks a piece.
Thanks

You might be able to remove one from a junker. I think these are spot welded in. $23 dollars could be better spent elsewhere IMO.

one thing you have to look for is that you have bosses on either side of your hole location(oil fill, oil breather, or pcv location) once you drill your hole for these applications look for a suitable location on either side of the hole to drill your small sheet metal screws into thus forming a "shroud" or baffle over the larger hole to keep from oil splashing into your breather,pcv or whatever.mine stands about .500" tall x1.125"x1.125" square.leave a .250" lip on either side and drill a #29-#30 drill hole into the sheetmetal lip to attach to v.c.underside.make sure you have rocker clearance(standard on smblk. is 1.5"rocker lift,i believe)also, put a piece of tape on your drill bit so you know how deep to go w/o going thru the top of your v.c.'scouse if you have chrome v.c.'s you cant do any of this becuz the metal is too thin,in that case all you can do is spot weld them in or splurge for some new 'uns w/ oil baffle's already attached underneath.good luck!

I have a pcv baffle already it isnt the normal flat sheetmetal type.
It use a piece of tubing with the end capped off and hole. This is the one that comes with the valver covers. I do have welded alumium valve cover but i dont feel comfortable drill into the, I might take it to a stainless shop and see if they can tack it or something. thanks for the info.
