B58 Gen 2 Aluminum valve cover?

[allendoc]

Has any one changed their valve cover? Only reason I want to would be to powder coat the same color as my intake. Any brands any one here has used? TIA

I haven’t replaced mine, but afaik the only aftermarket one is the VTT valve cover.

However, it completely deletes the air/oil separator in the valve cover, effectively deleting the PcV system. Therefore it basically requires you to vent the PCV and CCV system, so you’d need to run an open dumps or dual catch can/external AOS.

It was also recommended blocking the PCV system on the intake side by tapping screws into the head. But the head ports are already blocked by the intake cover, so I’m unsure how necessary it is.

The Papadakis Supra used some sort of method to paint the plastic valve cover red, if you’re just looking to add style to the valve cover.
