Ebay Valve covers w/Alt Clearance (pics high res) Picked them up for 100$ after shipping because I kinda wanted some new valve covers and don't wanna cut up my stock ones for 1.6RR's. I think the quality is pretty good. Just thought I'd share with you fellas.

I bought the same ones a month ago and I have them installed with Crane 1.6 Gold RR and there is not any issues with clearance etc. I installed using stock gaskets and they went on just fine... Only wish I could find a better looking oil fil cap as they don't come with one and you just reuse the black plastic one

I'm running the same ones. Bought mine last year for about $15 less then you did but either way they are at a good price and nice quality. I Did have fitment issues with mine running the Comp Pro 1.6 S/A. Ground down the support webbing a little less then a 1/2 inch and they fit like a glove.

He made some VERRRY nice stock-style ones (long filler neck) but I bet he'd be able to make you just a cap. Here's the thread with the ones he made. https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-m...-lt1-guys.htmlEDIT: Maybe something like this but with the Cam emblem instead of the Bird, on the cap.

I've had these valve covers for a few years now. They do fit well and look great. They don't quieten down the rockers much more than stock covers though.
I had my car in storage for a little while and mice got into the engine bay and now the covers are all stained up looking. I'm going to pull em off and see if I can polish them back up. Hopefully I can.
