Default New polished Proform's

They are wider and deeper, I did not have to cut off the drip tabs.

No problem clearing the wiper motor?

They look great and have adequate baffling. How much were they $ and do they have a screw in oil filler cap.

The engine bay is still not organized and wont be till the tuning is done so sorry for the sloppy look.

And yes they clear the Wiper cover, no problems at all, I am very pleased. They cost $87 plus shipping from Sallee Chevrolet

Heres the link to where I bought them, and there are two grommet holes one for the PCV and one for the recirc hose to the TB.

There is a boss for adding another "fill" hole if you like.

Finally got pics to work, and I think you made the right choice!


Oil filling is a slow process though. Poor slowly or you will end up with a 1/2 quart on your headers.

if both holes are baffled, how do you add oil. Not being a wise butt, just trying to figure it out. After looking for valve covers for awhile i have found that they are either: too expensive, do not clear the wiper motor, do not have baffles or do not have a oil fill hole with acceptable cap. These look nice, are reasonably priced, clear the wiper and look like they have good baffles........now if i just knew how to add oil :confused:

Thanks
