florida....as you can see, your car was where I got my inspiration!
I had to do some grinding on the inside to clear the shoulders of my roller rockers, but everything else went well.

In the pic below you can see on the drivers side, there is a small black rubber on the intake side of the valve cover. That is a baffled breather. On the passenger side there is a PCV valve attached to the intake, in the same spot as the driver side breather.

I personally don't like those style of valve covers but wow,that changed my mind.Those look slick & matches the fuel rail & intake-it all flows together perfectly & like someone else said that engine looks good either way

Boy, I tell you what Chris,,,I think that swap was the right move! I like it. (Course I'm biased after buying a set of those myself). Funny part is you're running centerbolts in a C2 and I'll be running perimeter bolts in my C4! LOL
Who did your polish/black inlay? Is that you or PML's work?
Thanks for the pics!

BTW,,,I bet you live near my friend Grant in a Houston suburb. He belongs to Kingwood, plays a lot of golf, and lives nearby. He's a rep for Continental Airlines.

GP..... PML did the polish work. It was actually one of their "specials", which meant the covers had a flaw. The flaw was some porosity on the side, but I couldn't tell it was there.
I did the black painted centers. They look great in the pics, and almost as good up close. I still need to come back with a little touch-up.
Painter Man.... Yep, 2 bolts. They are designed to work that way. Others have tried them and had no seal issues.
