Im am going to purchase a set of Centerbolt Sheet Metal Valve covers but I was curious do they make any of them centerbolt without the notch on the front for the alternator because Im not putting the bracket or anything back on. I relocated my alternator to the bottom of the motor. Also which brand is best for clearance for my pro mag 1.6's

 

just about none of them DO have the notch. i kept mine in the stock location..so i notched a pair of covers. you'll be fine with reg centerbolt covers.

 

I was looking at this summit brand but where do I fill the oil in from because theres no filler neck or no rubber grommet on the back like the stock ones for that vent line..

I've been looking at the same ones. There are no holes because you have to drill your own holes for the breather and pcv. No fill. You can have a fill cap welded into them or just put the breather in a spot that will allow you to remove it to put the oil in.

 

Canton make LT1 valve covers with the indent for the alternator. Do a "search"..... links and photos have been posted numereous times.

 

Fred, hes looking for a nice set without the notch...

The Cantons are also a good choice but they are notched...

 

I got some from moroso with centerbolts and they cam with girdles
look similar to the summit

 

I think Im going to order these sets off ebay. They make a breather that is double o ringed so it wont leak and then you can just pull the breather cap out to fill with oil. But then Ill still need to drill a hole for the pcv line right? Is the pcv even needed?

 

with the breather, no PCV air tube is needed(the valve is mounted in the intake)

 

So the pcv pipe that runs to the intake is pretty much just a ventalation? So the breather will take its place so I wont need it at all anymore? Could I just put like a pipe plug in the intake instead of that barbed fitting the hose hooked to?

 

I saw some pics of the Canton covers, very nice, kinda pricey though

 

My error..... read it too fast.

Apologies.

 

The line from the throttle body to the valve cover provides the filtered fresh air that the PCV valve vacuum pulls through the crankcase. If you delete the line, you can plug up the hole if you add a breather somewhere else. Works fine on the speed-density 93's, but creates the equivalent of a small vacuum leak on the MAF engines.

 

Sweet so Ill be good to just delete that whole line and cap it off. Do I need to plug the fitting off at the intake or does it matter?

 

yea, it will need to be plugged
