The covers shown in the eBay ad are NOT pentroof covers. They are cheap Chinese repros. Branda covers are much better than those. Branda covers do NOT have oil baffles installed so you will need to fashion a pair of baffles to keep the PCV valve from sucking oil. Here is a link to a schematic on my web page that crudely shows how to make a baffle from aluminum roof flashing sheet. The baffle is held in place by the rubber grommet that mounts into the valve cover hole. I have used them on my pentroof covers for three years without problem.

Here is the link to my build page for the entire story. http://home.comcast.net/~superhart/cobra5.htm
