I recently did a head swap and now my intake tube is hitting the oil fill spout. Can I switch the valve cover on to the drivers side and use it there, or will that cause a problem?

HoofnIt said:If you are very careful you can insert a prybar or large screwdriver into the oil fill tube and GENTLY-I can't stress that enough-bend the tube for more clearance. You will only be able to 'bend' it about 1/4" tops before it cracks. I had to do this when I used my fox valve covers.

Use this and you'll be square:94_5.0 said:Well I was looking at getting the FMS Tall VC with the pre drilled breather holes but i was wondering about the PCV tube that goes from the VC to the intake tract (it is circled in red on the pic. Can I use a regualr breather with that and cap the tube, or is that a bad idea. I have also seen Breather caps that have a nipple on them can I use that instead. Please does anyone have any experance to share with these VCs. ANyone know what size (or part numbers) breathers I need to use with these VC?
Danny's 94Cobra said:Could you put a little heat to the tube while bending it? It doesnt seem like you need to bend it to much. I just installed fox vc on my set up to clear the 1.72 rockers. I had to grind the inside of the covers and grind my oil cap tabs off. I also had to grind the bottom of my egr and intake and install a 90 degree elbow for the vacum hose on the driver lower side of my Cobra intake. It was a lot off modification but didn't have to get a spacer and didn't have to modify my surpercharger tubing and didnt have to spager my egr tube. Check out my thread under painted valvecovers and intake.
