I have the car in my sig, I just installed some Mr. Gasket valve cover breathers and I cut a 1-1/4" hole underneath the upper intake manifold and my breather will not fit under it.

I have a few options here I can either buy a new stock valve cover and drill the hole right at the very end of the cover so that it fits or I can go to a machine shop tomorrow and have them weld in an AN bung and then run a hose to either a filter or to my other valve cover.

What would you all suggest I should do to fix this mistake?

How big of a bung would I have to get to fill the 1-1/4" hole I cut?

Thanks.

Either run a intake spacer to fix your mistake if there is room or just get some new stock valve covers and weld a bung in one or both covers and run a line to them. I have 2 -12 lines going to a catch can and it works fine for me.

I don't have a cowl hood, I don't think it would work without a cowl hood.

Does anyone know about how high off the valve cover a breath such as this one sits?

I am going to have my parts guy order me one tomorrow so I can test fit it.

If that doesn't work I am going to get a new valve cover and I figured out a spot where it would fit.

Does anyone have an OEM valve cover sitting around I could buy?

Thanks.
