Has anyone on this forum installed/used one of the Aussiespeed valve covers?
I found this picture on eBay while poking around!

No baffles over the holes??? Wouldn't you suck oil right up into the PCV valve? Is this a race only item? I seem to remember people modifying Offy valve covers, Is that the same case here?

Looks like the gasket surface is actually machined, nice. This should negate the warping issues people have had with the offy. I'm betting those things aren't cheap....

Proper baffles would make them better.

There was a recent post about PCV baffling that warrants some reading.

Yeah Sandy, I read that article on PCV and got me thinking, but I really want one of these valve covers and there is a shop here in McKinney, Texas that is carrying Aussiespeed products.

Great googly moogly! The plain one saves you a whopping $25. No baffles for that much? Wow.
