Default valve covers
Got a set of aluminum valve covers. Ribbed type for a LT-1 motor. These have the oil drippers.
Someone told me there should be some filter media on inside at drippers is that right?

There should be no filter material there. The purpose of the drippers is just to direct oil to the rocker arms for extra lubrication.
