Valvecover question

Post by unleashedcc » Tue Jul 19, 2011 8:37 pm

I just got a 1st gen aluminum valve cover with the pcv on the top. I ordered a new gasket set for it and i noticed that the bolts might be different since the rubber seals are different, true? Do I need 1st gen valvecover bolts or could I use my 2nd gen ones?



EDIT- also, does the 1st gen valve-cover require a pcv? could i just run it with an oil catch can?

i can't say for sure as i just used the bolts that were already in my 1gn cover... you'll need a 1gn pcv valve though.

for those that do a 1st gen valve cover swap, you will need 10 1st gen valve cover bolts (2gn will not fit) a pcv valve, and of coarse a 1st gen valve cover gasket set :)
