FIG. 3 is a partial top plan view of a valve cover for an engine showing a second embodiment of our new design, the sole difference being in the addition of a modified breather apparatus;

FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of FIG. 3, the opposite side being a mirror image thereof; and

FIG. 5 is an end elevational view of FIG. 3, the opposite end being a mirror image thereof.

The ends of the valve cover for an engine shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are substantially the same as the end shown in FIG. 5 except for the omission of the modified breather apparatus.
