So, I installed my trick flow valve covers today. The only problem I have is there is no where for the oil fill to go. There is no hole in either valve cover. Did they send me two of the same valve cover, or do I have to drill the hole in the cover myself?

yeah the second one u have to drill them yourself, not a big deal i drilled a hole in mine no problem, i think i used a 1 inch hole saw and filed the edges for the trickflow oil fill

@%*@ that sucks. Thanks for the reply. I guess I will do that tomorrow. How did you determine where to drill it? It goes on the PS right?

jtmustang

yeah right on the passenger side. i just lokked at where it was on the stock one and just took two numbers and drilled it , dont sweat it no biggie.

I had the same problem....if you do a search you would find me all upset about it

Don't make the same mistake I did and try to make a circle with a Dremel because I was too lazy to go out and get a hole saw.......which I finally did anyway

Get a hole saw....and do it right.

lol.... That is what I was thinking of doing. Using the dremel drill bit. I will go and get a hole saw, these things are to $$$ to screw up.

Yep. I am getting there. I just need to get a few more things from the J/Y and make up some fuel line and I should be good to go. I cant wait, everyone has said it is a good kit. It is a 306 with all new bottom end.

I bought some trickflow valve covers on ebay... finish my hci and have the passenger side cover on and NOTICE the stupid passenger side valve cover hit my throttle cable bracket... WTF... so i have a stock valve cover on the passenger side and a trickflow on the driverside... gay...

sounds to me like these trick flow covers are a waste of f*cking money. i mean seriously....... who doesnt give you a place to add oil?!??!?! if your running a car that for some reason DOESNT need it, you could always block the damn thing off. and what about a breather? or a pcv valve?
