Ok so don't get all snarky on responses. So I'm getting some valve cover I won years ago during a car show I was in powder coated. Just donged on me that there is no oil spout etc, so how does one go about getting that in place?

You should be able to drill it in the factory area and install the Trickflow oil filler. It even has the pcv port.

Thanks was wondering how I was going to do so. Didn't know if I could swap the factory one over, plus the valve covers are actually TF so they should work.

This is how I did it, some masking tape and a hole saw.

Thanks how does it deal as far as the hole you drilled ? Does it come with a rubber seal or grommet?

Well the the covers and oil fill came with grommet from Trick Flow, I looked online what hole saw size I needed and where it should actually go. For some damn reason I can't find the hole saw I used, I'll have to look in the shed tomorrow, Trick Flow makes some great stuff but the instructions are terrible with these kinda details.

Just call Trick Flow and ask. That way none of us have to take for giving you bad information.
