Default What are some bad *** valve cover offerings?
Over time my coil pack bolt holes are stripped out all except two on each holding them on. Anyone make a good sealing, nice looking set of valve covers with bolt holes that won't strip?

Center mounts.

why not relocate your coils to under the cowl and get some nice clean valve covers?

Yes. I want to do both. Any possible way to relocate using the stock brackets? What about extensions?

If I didn't have a set of one-off coil covers, I'd be on a set of these like white on rice!

I vote for Katech - their aluminum covers + coil pack brackets are very nice.

I vote LS9. Cheap, clean, more clearance for rockers, coils bolt to valve cover and are included.

Where did you find all of those Valve Covers? I am trying to find them because the CAMARO ones look really good.
