What aftermarket valve covers are you running....are you happy with them?

[Amelio]

I am currently swapping out my stock rocker shafts with solid ones. As I am taking my stock rocker covers off I am wiping down my plug wires from the oil that always pours from the breather....such a pain!

Any way while I am here I think its time to change the covers......

I like the angled aluminum ones that say Buick with the turbo 6 logo....I have seen pics of them on here but I have not found a vendor that sells them unless I just over looked by accident.

I would like to hear who is running what and what are your likes and dislikes about them.

Those valve covers are discontinued. Theyre not made anymore at this time. Also the valve covers will not stop the oil out the breathers.
Guys are starting to.run catch cans for the oil that comes out the breathers. Quite a few threads if you do.a.search..

I was unclear....I am not so worried about it coming from the breather itself...thats gonna happen its a by product of blow by.......my main problem is the weeping of oil coming from the cheesy seal where the breather mates to the cover itself....its just not a solid seal its too damn loose.

These you can't get anymore. I have an extra set in plain aluminum but they won't be cheap if someone wants them.

My suggestion is if you get raw aluminum ones, have them powdercoated with clear so they will stay clean and fresh looking. Wish I had done that with mine.

I have the Champion valve covers that Dan @ DLS modified with weld in breather tubes & baffles. I have never seen a drop of oil anywhere near or around the breathers the only downside is pulling the valve cover with a/c.

Contact Mark H at TR Custom parts. He sells really nice polished "Champion style" covers...with nice breather tubes so no oil vapors.

Polished or powder coated! Breather tubes are part of the valve covers, one less place to leak.

I got mine from Cotton's (obviously), but I think they're made by Champion...

I've got a set of the old M&A valve covers that work pretty good. (I kinda like the old school look myself).
Have got both of these plumbed using (2) -10AN adapters with -10AN push fit 90's & run into a catch can , then back into the MAF pipe (pre-turbo).

I have Champion valve covers that I bought from Gbodyparts already powder coated. I don't think you can get them anymore. I use metco angled breathers and an oil catch can and have no oil dripping issues.
