Good Evening Guys!

A lot of you know that I am knee deep in "stuff" on Red Velvet. All is going well!

I removed old valve covers to replace, and I noticed these holes in both heads. Both driver's side and passenger's side heads have these holes in them, three holes on both sides. I'm hoping this is normal? If so, can anyone please explain what these holes are for?

Thanks in advance!

Jason D.

Nothing to worry aboot...just normal casting "flaws", where the sand molds weren't cleaned very well between casts. Those holes are normally a lot cleaner in appearance, but they present no issues at all....just look bad. Thumbs Up
