Aftermarket valve cover oil port
I assume it will take forever to add oil with these aftermarket valve covers since there is a metal screen underneath both caps? What is the purpose of the metal underneath the caps? TIA!

Re: Aftermarket valve cover oil port
baffles to prevent oil getting in the PCV.

Any tips on getting oil in here or just plan on it taking a while?

Re: Aftermarket valve cover oil port
That's what happens!
You could put a pcv on the passenger side where the breather cap is and a screw in type breather where the cap on your driver's side is. The breather cap doesn't need a baffle. You could open it up under it and help with oil addition. I'm assuming the breather is push in and the cap is screw on. |

Re: Aftermarket valve cover oil port
That makes it easier. Leave the breather where it is and punch out the baffle and put a pcv on the drivers side.

Re: Aftermarket valve cover oil port
If I go back to a pcv I would connect the pcv hose end with the hose with a bolt in it coming of the front of the carb in the center of the above picture?
