As the title says, I'm looking to get some valve covers. I have a L92 that I've removed the VVT on...so as you all know, basically now a LS3. I see some valve covers have threaded holes in them for screw in breathers or a screw in oil filler cap. Other than an oil filler cap, do I need to have threaded holes in the valve covers? I don't want to buy a set (for example the Billet Specialties ones only have a screw in oil cap) and find that I should have got a set with more holes. If I don't valve covers that have extra holes, I'd rather have a nice clean look without the holes. Hope that makes sense and thanks in advance for any advice.

Are you planning on running a PCV? I'd recommend you do so... for lots of reasons. Here's a thread on the subject:

Thanks John. That's the type of info I was hoping for.
