The grommets are slightly different. The pcv grommet has a smaller hole, than the other side, where i pulled a canister style air cleaner out of the hole. But on the grand cherokee, i got them from, the pcv/ oil fill cap was on the passenger side. My truck has the pcv and oil filler on the driver side. So if I can just swap the valve covers around, I dont even need to move the grommets. Suppose that worked out in my favor.

Here's the covers as they stand right now. I'll post up another pic after I paint em in a lil bit. Still have a lil bit of cleaning to do, but I plan on starting painting with an hour or so. Should have seen 'em when I took em off. Half the studs/ nuts on both sides were finger loose. The rest, barely took any effort to turn. I was covered from fingertip to elbows in grease/ oil. This was a neglected engine bay for sure! Used a whole can of degreaser yesterday cleaning most of the crap off. Using a wire wheel on my drill, to get the caked on crap off, then it's paint time.

I was looking for a set o fhtose...but between finding a good price at a place where they were backordered, and being too high at places that had them in stock...I opted for blue metallic paint!

covers painted, and set up next to the modded kegger. Think I'll like the outcome of this. Might have to paint some more parts to match down the road.

You are getting close to making me want to pull my kegger off and painting it! That is looking good!

thanks, lol. Had my hood popped, thinking about what else is going to be red and black, think next weekends project is the fan cover, becoming red. Not sure yet about that though, that'd be alot of red.
