Default *pics* Gen III performance Valvecovers

Nice solid pieces at a good price. The website doesnt really show the bottom so I have a pic of that too. Uses stock gaskets which is really nice. Unbelieveably...they are machined out of one chunk of aluminum. I got mine chromed and the chrome job is top notch. A little on the blingy side for me...Im gonna do some details on them to "dim" them down a bit....lol. They do carry polished ones as well as other finishes.

Good alternative to the Katech covers.


These thing are like mirrors!!! Whaoa!

Go to Gen III performance >>>> they are a sponsor. They have pics of non chromed ones as well as engraving and other options. I bought them already chromed from Gen III.

$450...yikes. Boy, there website doesn't do their products justice. You should sell them your pics. I wouldn't pay $325 for the looks of this piece, I'm sure it looks better in person though:

Very nice looking but how do you put oil into the motor without a oil filler cap?

Pop a valve cover off and dump the oil in.
