Question Looking for Tall LS Center Bolt Valve Covers
As the title states... I'm looking for different manufacturers of the
LS Style Valve covers with the Center Bolt design. They do NOT need
to have the Coil pack bolt holes as they will be relocated.
However, they do need to be taller than factory due to the installation of the
T/D Adj. Shaft Mount 1.8 Ratio Rockers.

Any help will be most appreciative.

BTW,... do we have any Sponsers here that sell them?

There is always the option of running a valve cover spacer.

Just do a google search for ls1 valve cover spacers.

Apologies for jumping in here, does anyone remember a guy named Aaron from Utah that was making sheetmetal covers a few years back? I bought some off E-Bay and had a question about the fill cap...

Anyone make one that allows the coils to be mounted directly on top like stock, but without the stock bracket? Seems like I saw them on here some time ago.

These are the Covers I went with.
Got them from "Scooters"
3/4" taller than stock, just what the doctor ordered.


Good looking V/C and they fit great. I'll post up some installed pics soon.

Thanks again for all the assistance

Anyone know if those carbon fiber valvecovers from Scooters will clear 1.7 Yella Terra ultralites on TFS heads?

Watch out for APS he used to make our covers till he up and quit with customers orders paid in full and I paid for all his material with no way to get to him as he is in Canada NOT USA like his site refers to. Not to mention that it took him months and months to produce a couple sets of covers.

We manufacture our own now and have complete control of the time and quality. I have them in stock and on the shelf allow couple days for added accessories. Oh and I am running a sale this week

Proform makes them in several different styles for around $280

There are also some fabricated aluminum ones all over ebay for $100 (I've heard hit or miss things about the quality but a friend just purchased some to try and they look really nice)
