Unhappy valve cover help. . . .

I have these covers in the pic. I really like then, but they really piss oil. They really don't have any baffles in them, just some sheet metal that I'm using to "subsitute" for them but it doesn't work. Does anyone have a et of baffles that fit these, or have a set of covers that they might be willing to part with that have the baffles? Or any other ideas?!? Please, I'm getting ready to use stock covers on my new engine!

Those look like early style Cal Custom valve covers. Do they have holes for PCV? If not, and you aren't running a vented cap, they will leak.

I have a set of LT1 covers that I might sell. They look a lot like the Cal Custom covers. If you are interested, let me know. Be warned in advance, LT1 covers have gotten rather pricey lately...
