i think they are eagle SIR I beams with the arp bolts my buddy bought them with the kit we weren't too impressed with them one was 11grams off for balancing so we had to replace it. they should be good enough for the hp level and rpm's we're aiming for though. had to grind a couple for cam clearance

I thought they looked wiered, 12 points but a thru bolt design had me guessing.

we aren't too fond of those valve covers anymore so they will probably be gone in a couple months.

just the fact that funds are running low right now

aww come on now they look better than a bolt head. i thought maybe a ridiculously large wing nut would look better or maybe a crown nut but this is what we're stuck with
