Pace.. my buddy Richie had a problem with the allen bolts backing out and making a mess.. you may want to use some blue loc-tite and lock washers. Keep an eye on them.

I like the little billet breathers that are available.. I forget who handles them.

PaCemkr86 · 12-15-2006, 11:10 PM

id like to see those... the autozone ones are temp..

They are not the badest looking one's out there (IMHO) but I think they are the "best" due to the design with the oil vent being vertical on the engine; you don't get oil coming out of "even" open breathers on most cars and you can use them with roller rockers too.

I"m thinking of ordering the black ones myself.

How much are they?

1turbo6 · 12-16-2006, 07:40 AM

139.95 for the valve covers 18.00 for 2 breathers and 4.00 for 2 grommits. I ordered a set last night, I went with silver, I have the factory ones painted gloss black and I think it's too much black. they look great though thanx for the pics. heres a link

I'll take the black ones with the word "Buick" in silver, Man. TA has nice K&N breathers too.

PS: I have seen both in person on an engine but that's JMO.

PaCemkr86 · 12-16-2006, 12:05 PM

scott wile · 12-16-2006, 02:04 PM
