i haven't really had much firsthand experience with any other valve covers, but i purchased some nasty performance valve covers for my motor, and they are pieces of art! top notch. i don't think you can get much nicer than these..

these are the billet ones, anodized black.
I have not run the motor yet, but i see no way possible they could leak. They use the factory rubber "ring" gasket, and they're milled from one piece of solid aluminum and the base if flat as could be! the bolt holes, plugs, and oil fill cap all have o ring seals in them too. They're like a factory valve cover except stronger, and nicer! Honestly, if these leak, idk how the factory covers stay sealed...

Who has leak issues? I have NEVER had anyone complain about leaks of our covers.

We have a deal for free MSD wires right now with our billet covers. Give me a call.

Nate, I am interested in a similar setup to SCJ's soon. Can you countersink the valve cover bolts flush with the top? I might be wanting to get some custom engraving and I think it would look much better if I could just get the bolts without whatever that black circle thing is around them and countersunk. Can you do this?

Also, in SCJ's picture.. did he get 2 oil fill caps? I see the one on the driver side but what is the other part sticking up in the front on the passenger side? I will probably opt for one cover with the oil fill cap and the other one bare with no options at all except for both to have that coil bracket mounting thing and I will get those from you too.

Sorry the stands in the middle thread into the covers and have to be there to bolt down. They don't look bad with engraving actually if you get carried away with the engraving it takes away from the covers simpler the better.
