Step drill, hole saw, die grinder w/a carbide bit...though alot of people have successfully blasted away at them with a hammer I've never liked that idea and won't do it

sorry for the edit, hit the wrong button

WITH Correct gormets no added holes needed

what? Sorry, I'm not following you. Unless your saying that you can get a grommet that will allow me to use that filler cap hole on one side? That would be cool, it doesn't really need two of those as far as I'm concerned. Do you have a part number for that?

I'm needing two, one for the little PCV and the other for the big one that goes to the breather.

you dont need either fill cap, remove breather to add oil.

Forgive my ignorance but I see 6 different grommets on the Summit page. Which 2 grommets are needed?

I went ahead and got the grommets from Mancini Racing. I also had the guys in the machine shop plunge one valve cover so I could keep one of the oil caps, but the grommets would of worked fine. Here some pictures and the part number from Mancini.

I only got two baffles. So they went under the PVC and the breather on the passenger side. Hopefully that'll work.

Spare parts!! Just kidding,I installed these valvecovers on the 383 in my Fury and forgot to put the baffles in.No real issues other than my breather caps fill up with oil over time then drips on to exhaust manifold. OOPS!
