Rocket Man's 02 Denali Build Thread AKA "THE BEAST"

Rocket Man said:

I bought a used set of the newer design valve covers with the built-in PCV system that replaces the old ball style. Only paid about $40 for the set, and $7 for the VHT crinkle paint, and baked them in the oven so they're high heat ready. The Fel-Pro gasket set was $21 but I probably needed to replace those anyway on my old set. So pretty cheap considering I've seen sets on EBay for $120-$ 140 that are powdercoated used covers and don't look as nice.

Nice, what does the underside of the PCV side look like?

I think 04 was the first year, when I first got the Caddy I figured I'd do the PCV valve not knowing when it was done last and found out it's not replaceable, there's and updated driver side valve cover after this one they changed the PCV valve inlet on the inside of the valve cover something to do with oil consumption
