The Dodge Challenger Message Board

dave iv'e been looking at those lovely black mopar performance rocker covers, but it looks like you dont get every thing in one go for a quick installation, do you have to get breathers an grommets an things seperate? also do you need machining done? nowts ever straihgt forward is it? thanks for any enlightenment trev

I can't remember if you get gaskets or not Trev. You don't get any breathers or PCV valve or anything. There are not any holes for these either but there is a blank area on each cover for you to cut out any holes you need.

Just use the grommets etc from your old valve covers.

You do get an oil filler cap in each one.

When I did mine I modified the right side cover so that the breather fits in the oil cap hole on that side. You only need one filler cap.

The drivers side needed a hole cut for the stock PCV valve.

If you use the thick rubber gaskets you will need longer screws to bolt the covers on. Hex head screws are best. I can't remember if they are one inch or one and a quarter long. I will have to check on Saturday when I get the car back. But longer than stock anyway because the stock bolts will only go in one or two threads and strip easy. Too long and a couple of them will bottom out before clamping the cover down.

The thread size is 1/4-inch UNC off the top of my head.
