Default C5R Valve Covers, Where to buy?
I figured I would ask in the drag racing section because most of the motor pics I see with the C5R Valve Covers come from this section. If anyone will be so kind as to tell me where you bought them from.

Thanks

Ross

Thanks kjsdpc. Getting ready to dive into the motor in the next month, putting together a parts list and see how far into debt I need to go.

If you don't mind, what is the price on the valve covers, I did not see them on your site.

Thanks Again,

Ross

If I remember they usually run about 250 a valvecover, so 500 for the pair, thats at least what they used to be

Then you have to find special gaskets and coil pack relocators !

I have them in stock for $215.00 per valve cover. I should be able to get the gaskets also. As for the coil pack relocator's I have some for the Katech covers that come with longer wires. I'm not sure how they would work with the C5R covers though.

What are you guys using for crankcase venting with these covers. I have a set coming on my new motor but with no provision for a breather, etc. I am afraid of excessive crankcase pressure?

cfi_luz, from what I have read the covers have a fitting for an oiler that you can rig to the throttle body for the PCV.

kjspdc, I didn't get your PM but I saw the price, thanks. I also wanted to make sure the special gaskets you talked about are used in place of having to machine the head for an 0-ring.

The valve covers we are talking about look like this correct?

Thanks again.
