I put the original valve covers back on today. Just got back from the track...I drove there(70miles), made about 7 passes, and drove back. Hardly any oil in the catch can. I imagine the teaspoon or so of oil in there was from what was already in the line. Big relief. I don't know what the deal with those valve covers is. They might be from like an 05 or something. I know they won't be going back on though.

We all learn from our mistakes. I seem to learn daily.

Are you sure the baffling was 100% the same?

I want to pick some covers up and have some -16AN fittigs tig'd on to run to a breather tank. I wonder if I will need to baffel them too. Can you post a pic of the underside of the valve covers? If I do need to tig baffles i and you want to sell yours we may be able to work something out.

Check the first page of this thread. I posted some pics of both valve covers. They are slightly different. Let me know if you need some better pics and I'll take them. They are nice looking and I hated to put those ugly oxidized silver ones back on.

Here's a pic of the tops.

The only difference I can see on the inside is some of the fins are missing on the blue ones that might slow or divert the oil flow over the baffels. Looking at the service manual it looks like the bolt pattern is for a 2006. May be they changed for 2007. Are they Vista blue? Hmmmm sure would look good on Pegasus.
