I have Isky rockers on my 440 & I stupidly cut out the baffles to clear the rocker arm adjusters. Does anyone know where I can find some inexpensive valve covers (with baffles) to clear these rockers? I'm sucking oil through the PCV now THANK YOU!

Unfortunately, I don't have a picture. They are on the insured/running/licensed car now & I was "hoping" not to take apart the engine until I had solved the problem and had the parts in-hand to put it back together immediately.
The valve covers are stock 1970 & the adjuster are the ones that came with the Isky rockers arms when I bought them new in about 1985 if that helps.

My buddy had a similar problem. We used a push-in breather with a nipple on it and added a short length of rubber hose to the nipple. The PCV valve then plugged into the short hose.
It doesn't look bad, and it worked like a charm.
