I have considered this just for the hell of it. But body work might be in 2 or 3 years.
....Yeah it should have read , but it will fit , i just had to grind a little off the lower on the drivers side front for clearance for the fuel rail....

No you need the pcv valve , i would go to some taller covers , if that dosn't help then you should have room to put a small baffle at the pcv

like i said the only reason i havent gotten taller covers is beacuse i want to make sure they clear everything...one question about the pcv.. if its bascially sucking in oil would that cause it too run rich at times?

Sounds like you might have alot of blow by , do you get smoke out of the pipes , i never had a problem with the pvc valve sucking up oil , for the rich condition i would check the FP regulator and pull the codes
