Fox Valve Cover Issues.

[James V]

In the process of installing my 2.0 Kenne Bell supercharger. The oil filler tube from the stock valve covers is getting in my way just a bit so I was thinking of buying new valve covers. The only problem is most of them I see say they arent for EFI equipped cars. Why is that the case? also i was thinking of instead of the big filler tube, i was going to just install the push in valve breathers. Does anyone have any advice about using those, is it a good idea? Thanks guys

The efi valve covers usually have a cast in fill neck with the little nipple to attach a hose to the throttle body or intake. Carb style vcs usually have 2 holes for breathers/fill cap/pcv.

Either can be made work with carb or efi, just may take a little more effort than just slapping them on.

Ok that makes sense now. Will it work if I ditch the fill neck and just do 1 breather and plug the other hole?

Get the valve covers with pre made and baffled oil holes...like trickflow. Use a mid 90s dodge truck breather. Run 5/8 hose from the valve cover to a cheap catch can mounted behind right front fender. Trickflow no longer has the ones I have in my car. Only the passenger side has a baffled hole.

This is the breather

Here's the breather tank

My systemax intake covers the drivers side valve cover. It's best to run two truck breathers ( one from each cover ) to the breather can. One breather and functioning pcv, through an oil catch can, works on my turbo car.

Thanks for the info. I'll be going this route, seems easy enough!

I like the Trick Flows with the Trick Flow filler neck. You drill a hole anywhere in the valve cover for it, and it comes with a cap and a hole run a breather line.
