Were the finned ones leaking?

The breathers were right above a rocker arm and covers didn't have baffles. Ricckers kept flinging oil up into breather and saturating it. Oil blew all over my firewall. I really liked the look of the old nastalgia covers but hated the mess. Even with pcv it flicked oil up till filter was soggy. I even wrapped hair scrunchy around them.

Try these:

And maybe the tall style valve covers.

Those will work on these orang covers. The finned ones have a screw in breather from the old school days. Can't use that gromet on them.

Post a oic of your covers. There's a cure for your problem, just have to look a little harder.

Might take me a bit. Computer is being a PITA. Covers need a metal baffle over oil fill hole to stop oil splash from rocker. I see bosses inside that could be drilled for some.

Okay....... I had a pair of those and stopped using them because of the blow by issue. But I think there may be something you can try.

These bolt in, but I bet you could tack weld them in place, too.

It will be a real pita to add oil.

Not really. I've used them. Some valve covers come with them. You can't just POUR it in, but it's no big deal. Better than having oil all over your firewall.

 

[cooter]

I bet that baffle would hit rockers. These where LOW... I think I like my new set up better.

 

[tfeverfred]

OK

I have baffles in mine, but those covers look very close to the top. I have a fill tube in the intake, so filling with oil isn't much a problem.
