Thanks

I have had ZERO issues with mine, had them on for about 5 or 6 years now. I am running an RX catch can on my engine, and everything works as it should, direct bolt on for NA'd engines. I am also using this valve cover/crank case breather as well. Just remember when you install these valve covers, use a brand new set of valve cover gaskets!

I was going to use the breather like that but I have read that it can cause issues with the tune. Yes I always replace Gaskets. I am assuming they will hook the catch can same as it is on the factory covers.

That breather I posted has a check valve in it, so it won't cause any problems with a "vaccuum" leak like the "open" ones will. it has a one way check valve, that's why I got it. On my covers, the passenger side nipple connects to my intake air tube between the MAF and TB, my driver side nipple on the cover is capped off. On my catch can the "intake" port is connected to my valley tray port, and the "out" port on the can is connected to the back port on my LOD manifold.

Holley Tall, but I miss the clean organized look of the factory setup. Wish I had kept the stock valve covers and coil brackets.

Joe.G · 05-13-2025, 07:03 AM

John C , from what I see in pictures the Holley's look clean. But maybe I am missing something. What exactly don't you like?

On the Holleys, the coils mount directly to the covers, on the stockers you have this hideous bracket that mounts to the covers, then the coils mount to the bracket, the Holleys got rid of that ugly bracket. To me, it looks cleaner, but everyone has their own view. For the best look, guys have relocated the coils and used clean looking valve covers, but I personally didn't want to go through all the hassle of doing that. Wasn't worth it for me.

I am looking at the BTR valve covers. You can choose with or without logo and with or without coil pack mounts. Coil pack mounts and mounted differently the standard.
