Can someone recommend a valve cover that will fit my 1985 corvette? Everything I see listed has just a breather hole in each cover. Hole size vary my breather holes measure 15/16 of an inch and are both baffeled. None I have found have the hole for the oil filler cap. Can you eliminate the cap and just remove the PCV valve to add oil or will the baffel interfear? My drivers side cover has a small crack. Also I have roller rockers so have removed the drip tabs. Seems strange the after market doesn't have lots of exact fit replacements.

YES you can eliminate the oil cap. I put edelbrock valve covers on my 86, perimeter bolt,

I got a set of plain ploished aluminum covers from Summit. I use the PCV hole for oil fill. You have to be careful of the height. Some covers will interfere with the wiper control on the drivers side. So stick with stock height.

Thanks for the information. I guess I don't need the oil filler hole.

I left the baffle out of the passenger's side and used an old style baffled breather on mine. This is where I fill the oil as its a larger hole.

I just lift out the pcv valve to add oil. There is a baffle under there so you have to pour slowly. Not a big deal though

I had time on my hands and for sh*ts and giggles siliconed the top half of a oil cap to the valve cover to see how it would look. Its just for show, non-operative. I ended up taking it off a week later. I like the clean uncluttered look.
