I recently replaced my old grimy, rusty, O.E. valve covers on my 318 with Edelbrock chrome steel valve covers, and it turned out really well, especially since all of the grommets and the valve cover gaskets were certainly original, and broke apart like dried wood.
I also replaced the breather and the pcv valve, because I figured that having new parts would be better than the original stuff. Now, I'm not using a traditional pcv grommet, but it is sealed, no question there. The issue that I'm having is that once the engine reaches operating temp, the pcv valve starts to squeal. It doesn't squeal when it's warming up, and it doesn't squeal under heavy acceleration. It seems to depend on vacuum. It is a Fram pcv valve, but that's just what Summit sent me.
There's no performance issues, it's just annoying to hear a squeal when sitting at a stop light. Thanks in advance for your input. Also, here's a picture of the new valve covers.
