rocketraider Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Olds chrome valve covers are available aftermarket, but all I've seen are based on the 1965-67 425 ci design which has the PCV valve and breather cap holes toward the ends of the cover instead of in the middle as 1968-later are. PCV valve would be no big deal, but you'd have to create some plumbing to connect the breather cap to the aircleaner. Try Jeg's or Summit.These engines are common enough that you could find a junkyard set and have 'em plated. They'd last longer than the aftermarket Taiwan chrome anyway. Every set of those I ever bought started to rust after a couple years. As hateful as 307s are to r&r valve covers or even to get at them, you want plating that will hold up.

rocketraider Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 You really want cool? Find a pair of 1973-74 Olds valve covers to plate. Those have "OLDSMOBILE" embossed into them. <span style="font-weight: bold">WAAAY</span> - but maybe not on a Buick. Besides, all the emissions plumbing on the RH would cover it up .
