I was wondering what I should put in those holes. I was looking around summit, but I'm still not sure. I have the ford racing chrome valve covers. I'm pretty sure since I have fuel injection and all the emissions crap, I shouldn't go with just an open breather. I'm also fairly certain I should retain that tube that goes from the valve cover to the intake pipe. So that narrows down my choices, but my question is should I get a valve cover breather "with PCV" or the ones without the PCV? Maybe if somebody could just give me a link to the correct part off of Summit, that would be great too. Thanks for the help once again.

Oh yeah, also, do I need the "push in", "screw on", "push on" type or what? Thanks.

Ok, thanks. Those things aren't too expensive, so i can afford to guess and check, I suppose, since nobody is certain.

got a link to the valve covers you are talking about? i am starting to look for some that have an opening for a pcv valve. i want to relocate mine from the lower intake to the valve cover(s) in an attempt to decrease the amount of oil that is getting sucked into the intake.

These are the ones I have, but I don't really see how they are different from your typical valve cover.

Edit: here are some valve cover breathers that have PCV. I don't know if that means if they actually have a PCV valve in them, or if they are just designed for a system that uses a PCV valve. Maybe somebody could clarify.

I have the Black version of those...I used a FRPP breather and fed a line to my CAI to vent it...



Drivers side...Go to a body shop and get a plug like they use in the body/trunk/doors...its a perfect leakfree fit...

You know, that's exactly what I was looking for. You know what else...I love you guys. No no no, I really mean that, and I'm not just saying that because I'm drunk, because I'm not, but seriously, you guys rock and I'd toast you with a beer or something, but since I'm not 21, I'll just toast with a Capri Sun. here here
