You need the baffles if you're running PCV valves.

Cheap way......Use two rubber gaskets under each cover.

You need to grind off the corners on the #1 and #7 intake rocker arms. That is even what Merc did to the Crane rockers on blue motors.

Don't buy the summit brand anything for your valve train unless you like holes in your pistons.

Why???? I ran them just fine on a hopped up 454mag. I certainly wouldn't put them on more that a 600hp engine though.
