BobbyK · 12-29-2004, 10:53 PM

I may paint them to look like the 572 Big Block valve covers.

mikeoj · 12-29-2004, 10:54 PM

BobbyK · 12-29-2004, 10:56 PM

BobbyK · 12-30-2004, 02:42 AM

coke

Brainchild · 12-30-2004, 04:31 AM

Nice covers.And Coke rules,I dont really care about hte condition of the desk

Blue Beard · 12-30-2004, 07:55 AM

Nice lookin covers...be sure to pic when installed..

Don't worry about the desk, mine looks worse...must be spending to much time on the computer.

BobbyK · 03-04-2006, 03:49 AM

Well it only took me a year to finally install these things but here they are.

1st I ditched the reg. bolts for some fancy ARP stainless 12 point bolts too.

I used some FelPro rubber gaskets to seal them up.

And here are the new covers installed.

These are the breather and PVC gromets that came with the valve covers(part #).

Unfortunatly one of the gromets was too big and did not fit either the PVC or the breather.
I went to my local Canadian Tire store and looked in the "HELP" section(You Americans have those "HELP" sections in your auto parts stores too) and was able to find a replacement gromet.
Here is that part#.

I like em.
What sucks now is the new valve covers make the TPI look dirty.

ACES · 03-04-2006, 04:13 AM

That looks Great. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

**BOSS** · 03-04-2006, 08:04 AM
