MrGasket p/n 1015 $13.99 for only 8.
The MrGasket type I've tried. You have to buy a second set of 8 more to cover the 12 valves on the L6 head. Also they tend to fly off anywhere. Only 1 star.
The other type I never saw before, and they got a second user reviewer star, but that's out of 5.
Old school: Bandanna and goggles, like Barney Oldfield.
Best idea: Get a second L6 valve cover from junkyard and cut the top out of it. I once got one from a junkyard guy for free [after I bought a tranny/transfer case for $400] telling him what I wanted to do with it. He liked my idea so much he didn't charge for the valve cover. I still haven't cut it out yet. |
Bad ass idea!! My valve cover is so worn out, I've tried saving it but it's too beat up, I'm currently waiting for a new eddelbrock cover to arrive, so I'll take up your idea and cut my old one and start doing that for now on!
