Still waiting to see how they handle this since they are $400 valve covers!

no leaks here.... engine bay is so empty you can see clearly no leaks. BUT ill admit you have to make sure they are on there straight. if you had the gasket on straight too it would not leak regardless of the cover being warped. sorry for your mishap but mine are ok.

Nasty's billets are nice as well as a few others. We're talking serious coin though but when you look at the fabbed ones they're almost as much. I guess I'll have to start saving. I like the billet 2" with the 10n breather and screw cap. maybe a 347 cu in on it I dont know. Cant re-sell to just anyone if you etch them with a specific cu in.

Just thought I would point these out. I don't like them though. They are too squared looking for me. I emailed the seller and he said they were made by Moroso. *non sponsor link removed.

Yea I saw them last night and asked him for a picture of them. You right though, kind of ugly. I like elbow guys stuff. I like the way he has the flat top on his fabbed stuff where others have the bungs sticking up. Its a definate maybe. We're emailing so we'll see what he quotes me for what I want. I just painted mine but to be hinest I dont think I like painted valve covers. Found another place for billet but they offer anodizing as well as etching. MayBe an anodized etch? Can they do that?
Its a place in Canada. I dont want to say the name out of respect for out sponsors. Search the web and you'll find it. They have stuff on ebay. Same price as Nasty.
I'll post up pictures of my work in a while. I need to etch them first. My factory covers.

if you are doing them just for looks i think that its stupid.. unless you have lots of money to blow and your motor is already really built.
now if you are doing them beacuse of diffrent rockers, thats understandable, id just get one the valve cover extensions

My car is basically new. Can't insult it with those sad *** stock covers.
