Default New Carbon Fiber Valve Covers @ SDPC!!





These REAL carbon fiber valve covers are 3/4" taller than stock covers so you can run most any aftermarket valvetrain components without spacers! They also retain the provision for an OE gasket so you don't have to worry about leaks and troubles from an aftermarket paper or cork gasket! These covers are in stock ready to ship and can even be ordered from our website! The stainless steel coil brackets are sold separately.

The covers are $469.95 for the pair and the SS brackets are $119.95 for the pair!

See These Valve Covers @ SDPARTS.COM!

Have any pics of them installed with the coils and brackets? Will those brackets work with the truck coils?

Alright everyone, I've found that the truck coils have spacing that is enough different from the cars that this will NOT be a bolt-on deal for the truck crowd. You would have to make your own brackets if you use truck coils!!

That's unfortunate. Anyone want to trade my 3k mile truck coils/brackets/wires for some regular LS1 style? I don't need the extra spark anyways..

Do you have a breather that will fit in place of the oil fill cap?

We have these carbon fiber valve covers on a road race car and they leak like hell and have tons of problems with the gaskets staying in the valve cover when you remove them....

Very dissappointed in them.

These are made by Carbon Components and look better in person than in pictures. I had a set on my LT4 for about 4 years and they never leaked a drop. I hope LSinnovations experiance is an isolated incident as I'd like a set for my new motor. Anyone else have experiance with them on an LS motor?
