Ok long story short. I old Valve cover was pretty bad off. I purchased a powder coated one. It looks real sweet. The only prob is, The line (PCV line I think?) that runs from the top of the VC to the intake mani has nothing to connect to! on my old VC the fitting is threaded. On the new one, I have no idea how to get this valve to fit so I can run it to the IM. My car is a 03 and I'm guessing that they changed the design of this fitting after 03? Pictures below! Help a brotha out!!

Shows the old valve cover. The fitting on the valve cover is threaded.

powder coated valve cover.

See the difference in size? What do I need to do to make this work? The thing looks fantastic!!! The yellow really pops on a black car.

Help!!!

04-05 valve cover pcv system is like that.

edit: why is this in the nitrous section?

yup ^^

also you can buy the 04-05 pcv valve from your local dealer or from one the vendors. It basically is a snap then turn (kind of) compared to threads.

Because I can get answers from guys I deal with on a regular basis.

Rhunter, what does the baffling (under the VC) look like in comparing the 03 and the newer 04/05's? Curious to know what was changed between the two other then the screw in PCV valve versus the twist lock on the newer ones.

Thanks no hurry on it, its not an important issue or anything, I just would like to know.

Threads for the PCV are like pipe threads?

The PCV fitting screws in, it has a big nut on top of it.

Would you like to sell the valve cover, if so how much shipped to NJ.

CJsStocker · 03-21-2009, 08:15 PM

so the change in 04-05 from 03, is it an improvement or something to do with the emission regulations?

nutz · 03-21-2009, 09:48 PM

i wish i had the '03 valve cover so i could get rid of the stock PCV valve and just run the PtP one

Do you thing the 03 with the screw type of pcv is not as big as a factory boost leak as the 04/05?

Oh Modern performance has the pcv valves for the 04/05. the shipping cost more than the part.
