I am shopping for Vortec Head valve covers. With a Edelbrock vortec manifold there is no OIL fill hole option. How the heck do you get OIL into your friggen engines? I can not find ANY tall/short valve covers with Oil fill holes, PVC valve, Breather holes!!!! (ok that is a lie, I found a couple, but they said "chevy" all over them, and I have an Oldsmobile. I want it to either be BLANK or say "GM") The only option I have found are valve cover adapters, but I dont know clearances so would like to stick with something, plain, preferably Aluminum, polished or natural, and tall or short...
 


I found them in billet and black. about 150 buck without shipping from billet specialties.

I saw those, but those are just PVC/Breather holes, with baffels under. I can really pour oil in there.
 
I have the same problem. I bought GM perf. chrome covers and they are baffled as well. I hear you can pour through there though just takes a while. What about the dipstick tube with a funnel?
 
Use a pair of stock valve covers powdercoat or send them out to be chromed. They have the oil cap.
 
I picked these up from ebay for $70 for the pair. Baffled and I just pour the oil in on the breather side(driver side). I had the Billet Speciaties set, but wanted a tall set. The billet Specialty set did have a oil fill cap, but those were really expensive..These are ball milled and have no bowties.

Doesnt take a while to add oil. Maybe a minute longer than when I had the Billet specialties setup..

Here's the ones I'm using. Polished alum, stock height Moroso. They do have the Moroso logo on top but it could be milled off if you wanted. Has pcv hole on one side and oil fill on the other. These are NICE and are also clearanced inside for roller rockers.

well an Oldsmobile would be easy, just pour it down the oil fill tube in the front of the block lol .... I think everyone knows it's a Chevy, but still you can try these to hide the shame - fauxmobile valve covers

i dont have an oil fill hole i just pop one of my breathers off and pour oil in. dont go realy cheap, i had some cheap stock looking crome covered steel valve covers and they sucked, rocker arms hit on em and everything, bought the jegs brand tall aluminum ones and i liked em very much, i had the black covered gm performance ones a while back, i liked them alot, i tightened one down too much, and cracked it, but they were really nice.
