Has anyone ever bought a set of valve covers from ebay. I am a little hesitant to buy these since they are really cheap compared to most other polished covers. Let me know if you have any other recomenndations for valve covers that wont break the bank.

I have a set without coil mount studs and they are ok.
Had to clearance the driver side for rocker arm.
Have to be careful with alignment.

I picked up a set of the holleys for 134.99 shipped from amazon....

If I were you I would just pay the extra 30 since the amazon are shipped at 135 and call it a day.

I bought these and, while torquing to stock spec (106in-lbs), a middle bolt broke off in the head. The provided hardware was junk and the "gaskets" they provided for those bolts were disintegrated after only one torque sequence. Had to helicoil... not a fan of the covers. In addition, I was still running ls1 PCV then. If I had converted to LS6 PCV like I eventually did, it wouldn't have been a problem.

I'd spend the extra and get Holley covers.

Don't the holley covers only work with the ls2/3/7 coils? Does anyone make a bracket to adapt the ls1 coils?

Also becareful alot of guys had leaking issues,and as what was mentioned the hardware is junk,imo spend the extra 30,or paint your stock ones or pc,i did mine with that wrinkle paint and couldnt be happier,also you could always polish n clear your stockers
