The C3 196-1982 Chevrolet Corvette Aluminum Valve Cover Vent Tube Grommet- Both Sides is a dedicated pair designed for classic C3 V8 engines. If you’re restoring a Corvette with factory aluminum valve covers, these vent tube grommets ensure a secure, lon-lasting seal on both valve covers, helping your PCV and venting system function as intended.
Why this matters
Two grommets, one for each valve cover, give you a symmetric, precise fit that OE-style grommets rely on. Proper venting is essential to prevent oil seepage and pressure buildup in the valve covers, which can affect performance and longevity. This kit keeps your engine bay clean and your breathing easy, reducing the risk of leaks around the valve cover vents during daily driving or spirited bac-road sessions.
Key benefits
- Dua-side compatibility – designed to seal both the left and right valve covers on C3 Corvette models from 1969 to 1982.
- Fi-fo-purpose – engineered to match the contour and depth of factory aluminum valve covers, providing a dependable seal for vent tubes.
- Leak prevention – helps prevent oil mist and vent leaks that can occur with aged or worn grommets.
- Durable, hea-tolerant design – built to endure engine heat, oil exposure, and vibration without cracking or hardening over time.
- Easy installation – straightforward pus-in installation on both sides, minimizing downtime during restoration or maintenance.
Who should consider this kit
Ideal for classic Corvette enthusiasts, restomod projects, and professionals restoring 1969–1982 C3 models with aluminum valve covers. If you’re refreshing your engine bay, this paired grommet set ensures your vent system remains airtight and functional without the guesswork of incompatible parts.
Use cases and practical tips
- Use during valve cover reseals or valve cover gasket replacements to restore proper venting and reduce oil leaks.
- Pair with a routine PCV system check to maintain optimal crankcase pressure and engine cleanliness.
