Default Re: Holley SBC valve covers

I have always just assumed MT and Holley valve covers were cast by the same foundry, as they are so similar.

Biggest problem with either is that the pvc and or breather hole is right over a rocker arm with no baffle. If you have good oil pressure, the squirt goes right in the pvc causing some oil consumption.

At one time they were cast by the same Winters Casting that did GM's intake manifolds.
