Do you replace valve cover bolts?

Edit: Disregard, just re-read glachhman's post about the uncleanable built in filter. Does having a OCC make replacing the valve cover unnecessary?

Its not a filter, its the PVC ports ect.

Has anyone use the URO valve cover or any other brand besides OEM?

Yes...there's a review on the Chinabay version floating around here somewhere. Should be pretty easy to find.

I think they want more money for each individual bolt. They are the cheapest books and after you stretch the bolts once, they get very brittle, not to mention the heads get stripped easily. Instead of using the stock crap bolts, arp sells bolts that work way better. They are a hardened steel. Here's the part number arp-660-1004. I bought them from summit racing. Yes they cost a little more, but they are stronger than the cheap bolts
