valve cover an size?

[2gdanny]

im planing on welding an fittings on my valve cover, i have 6an, 8an and 10an, at first i was planing on going with 10an, but my budy that is welding the fittings on the valve cover tolled me there was no need to have them that big i could get away with 6an.

well my question is can i get away with 6an?
also, if i weld them face up 6an, 8an or 10an with a 90* on them will i clear the hood?

i would test fit it my self but i have no motor in the car.
thankx guys

I love how CT78155 didn't PC the top where the oil cap goes gives it a look more like a factory

And I must say I wouldn't want to hurt that VC either its just to pretty.

I've got -10 An fittings tapped into mine, forget welding that. I just got a tap, and a drill bit, and went to town then put some thread sealant on them, and had them powder coat them.

Is that "thread sealant" JB Weld?

Nope, everyone asked if its JBweld. But it was a tube that I had for awhile, and it seemed grey. It was a metal filler/sealer is what the tube said.

Probably "metalfill" it's a type of bondo with aluminum in it.

I'm so confused as to what you guys with AN fittings do with the pcv valve . Can someone shed some light for me please? Do you maybe run an inline check valve instead or just eliminate the pcv valve altogether?

I have a filtered catch can from RRE, is it possible to weld AN fittings to the catch can and run the lines from the VC breather and stock pcv inlet/outlet to the catch can? I've been trying to search for answers, but it seems as though every thread results in a different setup. Any suggestions?

GSXTACY, what you need to do is figure out what size the threads are in your Catchcan, im guessing 3/8, then just get a 3/8 to either 6,8,10 an fitting(Your Choice). Then you will need to either drill and tap fittings into your valve cover like I did, or have someone weld them on like others have. If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me, Ill give you part numbers, and the exzact deal I went through.

You copy'n sonofabitch,. haha.,. Nearly identical to my setup only I modded the fuel rail, and I have a mitsu cover. I'm selling it though, and making a new one with an's on it.. Should have done it first, but live and learn.. And spend more money.

too late , he tok it home tonight with 2 fitting welded into the top (90* fittings ) I've already done the straight fitting and tried a 90* elbow on it on my 2g and it will NOT work..unless you want a second "power bulge" in your hood (that's what the aftermarket calls the timing gear clearance bulge )
