    So where is the breather or PCV located? Does it have the snorkel in the manifold like the early Chevs, or is the hole in the front of the rocker cover for the PCV and not in the top?
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!

    What are these off, Byron? Well, the one you can see anyway. Can't remember if the other side is the same.

    Early HQ by the looks. That engine wouldn't run too well as it has a sealed filler cap and almost certainly a PCV on the LH rear so the crankcase wouldn't be able to breathe and always be under -ve pressure.

    The LH rocker cover remained the same part number for HT-early HQ, so I think the round pressing must appear during HG so they can be used for HQ engine production during HG.
