Default Is there a place to buy valve covers setup for breathers?

I'm no welder and I'm still driving my car so is there a place that sells LS valve covers that are already welded with breather bungs and painted or what?

Yup... Sourced a drain back catch can on ebay, oem fittings on ebay and got the lines and aftermarket fitings from b&r.

When I had vc setup I would constantly have to drain. The can pain in the *** for a street car

Looking at that setup it still has the valve cover to intake line but with a "turbo check valve". Would that still allow oil into the intake? I'd think so.

No it shouldn't that portion is optional but better for a street car. I haven't had any signs of burning oil.

Can you post a picture of your setup? It looks pretty small. You aren't draining back into the motor are you? I plan to empty mine when I do oil changes. I was looking at this one. Would probably take out the drain thing on the bottom, thread in a brass fitting and run a line to the bottom of the car, put a valve, and just open it when I'm under there changing the oil. https://www.ebay.com/itm/AN10-Polished-Aluminum-Oil-Catch-Can-Reservoir-Tank-W-Breather-Filter-Baffled/274163222429?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.S EED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Dbf131 41f21224323a2341866601b33ee%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D 1%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D274163222429%26 itm%3D274163222429%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380 057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pagec i%3A03c9ee23-492e-11ea-8828-74dbd18013a3%7Cparentrq%3A1c916a121700aa13f5ab647c ffea2758%7Ciid%3A1

Actually your can looks smaller, depending on your boost it may need more frequent oil drains.

I use a drain back system no maintenence required

I don't like the idea of condensation and crap back into the oiling system. That's another reason I liked the idea of the bigger box so it won't fill up as fast. BUT I really don't like the idea of putting the battery in the trunk.

There's no issue with drain backs the way it was explained to me is any water will evaporate upon startup also my can is always empty so I don't think there is condensation in the first place I'll get a pic later

This is the valve I ordered works perfect.

No I actually try explaining this on that thread.

This is the kit I use along with the check valve I shared.

My can is about 7" tall and measures 3" across size is mostly irrelevant for me and it vents well and drains back couldn't fit much larger in my bay anyway.

I have never seen any signs of oil or condensation
