I ordered some chrome valve covers and they came in today, they look great and all but they dont have a oil fill neck?! :damnit: I dont know what to do now, can I take the one off my stock set (which will look like crap) and put it on or is there a cap that you can buy? Thanx alot for any help.

is there just a hole? Or no hole at all? If it's just a hole, you just need a cap. If you need the hole, you can probably just cut one yourself.

No you cant just put a cap on and forget about it!!!

You need a breather cap to vent pressure,

The Valve covers YOU bought were not for a EFi Car,
You got the ones designed for Carb Setups, most have a hole on each valve cover.

There IS Valve covers with oil filler necks and breather holes designed esp for EFi Cars.

Either return then and buy the right ones,
Or find a oil filler cap with some sort of breather.

FRPP sells a breather cap which has just the nipple to connect to the TB. I got carb covers and am using that to connect the hose. As long as you put that there, you'll be fine.
