Cant Decide

i have the Edelbrock Chrome Signature Series Valve Covers on my truck and they leak no matter what im just thinking that they are warped saying that i got them used but for $10 for the pair, i went ahead and ordered the black ones with the baffles but im not sure how they would look or if i should order the edelbrock aluminum valve covers, my air filter cover is chrome so im not sure how the black covers would look on the small block 350 does anybody have pictures of the black ones? and witch ones would you get?

The top are solid cast and won't warp. Get them and be done

so in other words dont get the black ones? i want something that wont warp and are easy to keep clean the truck is a daily driver

The top ones are the best bet. From what I hear your stuck on the edlebrock covers so get the nice thick ones and no more stamped crap. Just use some purple power and a hose an any grime will just come off

Yeah Edlebrock is a name that i grew up around, my grandpa was a strong believer in edlebrock and had a old 67 chevelle with a edelbrock built motor so i grew up around it and kinda go stuck on it

i havent even checked my casting mumber on my heads yet becasue i would have to remove my cheapidy stamped valve cover that came on my truck. they arent leaking now, thats why im waiting to get aluminum ones to take them off

those allen key screws on top don't actually work
I thought would be good for valve ajustment
mine seemed to always leak when on my car
found out the cast is leaking when I put them on the truck
put some goop inside

But i'd buy them again

[mattpiotr]

do i need the tall ones or just the stock height?

[old Rusty C10]

I have the bottom ones and they work fine

the tall ones are to clear roller rockers if you have stock rocker arms stock height will work...but remember if you ever plan on upgrading to roller rockers you will have to buy the tall ones.

I would go with the top one it looks nicer and will last longer.

is their a certain brand of gasket you guys are using?should i use the edelbrock gaskets?

[motornut]

a blue neoprene or something ,was supposed to be reusable lol
maybe right away ....as apposed to cork that rips easy
but they still bake
