When you go to buy a longer hose for the PCV valve, make sure it is fuel
line hose. I wasn't paying attention to what the auto parts store was
giving me, installed it, and a couple weeks later I start hearing this
whistling sound. I thought the damn headers were coming loose. So I break
out the 10mm socket and I'm ready to torque 'em down. Huh?!?! They won't
even budge! Okay, where the hell is the whistling coming from? Start
looking around with the engine running. Hmmmm...seems to be coming from the
left side....feel the hose from the PCV...it's like Jello...and as I move it
the whistling changes tunes...tried to play Jingle Bells but couldn't get
the tunes right....#$%%@$...back to the auto parts store with hose in hand
(PCV hose) handed it to them...the guy went .....Ohh yech! Black
slime....needless to say they gave me a new one, no charge.

You'll have to bang in the baffles in the stock valve covers for clearance
or get the Mopar Performance valve covers (they are taller). If you go
with the MP valve covers, you'll have to fab something at the PCV valve
on the pass. side cover (the hose running from it to the intake manifold
will be just a tad too short because of the extra height/valve location).
