Anyone have a method of attaching breather hoses to a valve cover without welding? My covers are chromed and dont want to run that and need to attach some type of fitting to them in order to hook up a breather tank.

Lets see what youve got

I do an fittings trimmed down with a an nut and o ring....no leaks. If your doing push on hose you could use a npt pipe nipple and tap the valve cover depending how thick your alum cover is....

Hey D its RNH (look at your sig)
