Should I go with Chrome valve covers or black. Here's a pic of the black ones

 

i think you need something fancier those valve covers.... just don't do it.

 

it's just something to hold me over until I can afford to get what I really want.

what's going to be on top? a carb?

there a reason why you painted the engine blue?

 

Yeah it's carbed. I painted the engine blue and black to be different. I liked the color scheme

 

blue is going to show oil really badly, i would go with a black block, aluminum heads and fabricated aluminum valve covers.

 

Just a thought, I dont know how much you can afford however, Mine were $53 on E-bay.

 

I have black ZZ4 valve covers on my car:

 

I vote for black, or aluminum. I think chrome valve covers look amazingly cheap.

 

Aluminum!

 

i wish i had chrome but I dont not yet anyway

 

have to agree, the chrome valve covers just don't look right....why not just polish up a stock set until you can get exactly what you want?

 

I got the polished cast aluminum valve covers from GMPP and they were great until I put them on the engine. The second a little drip of water gets on them, JUNK! They start pitting and unless you clean them 10 times a day or buff them like once a week, they will turn to crap. Black is a lot easier to keep clean, you don't have to worry about polishing.

 

what if your black is flaking off? hmmm like say MINE! lol it just looks like a big rusty rectangle haha

 

M/T's old rod style

 

Chrome

 

How about some of these....

I still need to Polish the Logos.
