I concur with Ken Henderson. Most of the time, aftermarket valve covers do
not come with breathers or baffles, just holes that don't fit OEM grommets
very well.
As for the oil pan windage shields, the only way I have used is to
grind or drill out the spot welds, clean religiously, then either spot
weld or button weld them back in with a wire feeder. Don't leave them out.
The factory would not have put them there without good reason.
