Mancini VC question

Post by jmr » Mon Jun 09, 2008 11:01 pm

For those of you who bought those powder coated valve covers from Mancini. Did your VC's have the oil breather tubing nipple in the back of the VC? I just got mine and it doesn't have the nipple sticking out of it behind where the oil filler cap is located.

I guess I can transfer it from my old Valve Cover to the new one right?

Sounds like poor quality to me.

The actual metal tube or the rubber nipple? The metal tube should be there, and you will have to reuse your old rubber nipple.

I called Mancini and they are going to send out the metal nipple that should have been pressed into the valve cover. BTW there is no way to use the old valve covers oil breather nipple since it's molded into it.

Last year I bought a Silver VC from Mancini and it had the oil breather nipple pressed in so that's why I asked.
