You would think I would be able to find something as simple as this, but I can't seem to find SBC tall valve covers that have provisions for PCV valve and an oil fill hole....seems none of them have provisions for an oil fill and will the baffiling you can't just pour oil down the hole cause it will take forever.

Any ideas of what valve covers have this? I would prefer almimunum, but cheapo chrome at this point is okay too.

If I recall correctly.....Most of the Moroso vlave covers are unbaffled. Give the guys at Summit a call and ask to make sure.

If all else fails...Tap lightly with a 5lb hammer!

I am also trying to find aftermarket valve covers with the right combination of holes. Seems like all aftermarket valve covers only come with a single hole on each cover. So, if those holes are unbaffled, you need to add baffles by installing a metal plate yourself, or buy one of those rubber grommet style baffles. Now you won't have any oil problems with your breather, or PVC valve, but how the heck do you pour oil into the valve covers?

If you don't use baffled valve covers, then you can pour oil right into the valve cover during an oil change no problem. But now you will have issues with oil soaking up into your breather, and splashing all over the PVC valve.

Not sure why they don't make them with the right combo!

You could always make one with a hole saw, as long as the cover tops are flat. Then get a graumet and filler cap.

I did just that on a set of valve covers I had on a chevelle years ago. Back then I worked as a machinist. I cut a second hole on one of the chrome valve covers, and then machined my own aluminum cap to fit the rubber grommet. It really is a good solution, but I still wonder why this extra hole is not already there.

Its weird cause I have old short Holley finned aluminum valve covers with an oil fill hole and 1 other hole in each cover, but it seems nothing is coming out new that has all of em. Weird.

I feel your pain... every time I change my oil! I have GM black crinkle finish tall valve covers with two small holes, one on each cover as you said and they're baffled. I use a small funnel and SLOWLY pour in 5 qts of oil... I would guess I have an hour wrapped up in a complete oil/filter change. Good thing its a garage queen and I only change oil twice a year.

The baffles don't really take all that long to pour oil through if they're high quality. GMPP has (good quality) tall covers with good baffles. I just pop out the PCV valve, stick in a long-nose funnel and fill 'er up. Takes a few seconds to drail a quart into the funnel and then drain into the engine but I use that time to open the next bottle. By the time you're ready to pour the next quart it's all in the motor.
