Iv been trying to decide on a set of covers for sometime, i just ended up buying the two styles that i liked so i could see them in person. keep in mind i have no air cleaner so that may or may not make a difference.

Here is what i have on my car now. stock i hate the look of the pcv valve and filter! on the other sets since theres no holes i plan on running a crossover in the rear so its less noticeable

 

The new covers


I liked this set its smooth a bit stock looking but only thing i would do to these is tone down the polish so they match the rest of the engine

 

Heres almost 360* video rotation of them. don't mind the quality or the music

 

I really dig these there obesity not stock looking only thing i would have to do to these if i used them is knock down all the crappy tig welds

I like the tall covers. The first ones just look like a stock type cover, no 'wow' factor.

 

fabricated all the way, i love the way a fabricated valve cover looks! mean on anything!

 

I actually like the painted stockers! Can I ask where you got those centerbolt wire guides?

Thanks

 

I like the fabricated covers! They look like they mean business. If they were mine I would take the plug looms off them, and run them under the headers, or get looms that bolt to the header bolts. Nice looking engine bay!

 

I like the tall set!

 

2nd set that the front looks like a house.. and remove the tig welds

 

The stockers or Those fab ones look the best leave the weld.

 

the 3rd ones are the most chodeworthy! and i like the look of the welds

 

go with the fabbed ones

 

i like the high top ones. how much did you buy those for (the 2nd ones) and where did you get them form. they look amazing. and i have a few questions for you about your a/c and heat delete. mind if i send a pm?

 

I like the last set, and leave the welds. If you smooth them out, might as well just stick with the 2nd one.

yea i thought about that but i bought the looms to make the running of the wires look neater.... i think id run into problems running them under with the headers i have.... Thanks man its been a lot of work to get it to this point well worth the time and above all effort i have put into it.... if you haven't already seen what i started with link:

you don't need to ask just shoot me a PM dude

But thanks for all the commits and feed back guys... im

 

The Fab's look the best, although the others look good too! The Fab's just make the engine look bigger! Meaner!

 

 

FAB'S for sure.......

 

Chalk up another vote for the roof-esque fabricated ones, but if they don't fit for you (I wish they fit with TPI!) then the smoothed ones are a nice touch.

 

guess what ones i picked?

 

that was the right choice

very nice

 

That looks sweet! Very nice....

 

They look awesome. Well done!

 

I was just browsing through a link you posted in another thread and ended up here, looks great. Just curious, how are you going to run a pcv system with those covers? I understand they arn't the prettiest things, but they sure help keep the inside of the engine lookin good too. Keep the crankcase unvented and the blowby gases will eventually vent themselves somewhere (oil leaks) not to mention all the nasty buildup that will develop inside over time.. How did you over come that? I guess is doesn't matter that much if this is just a show car that get's trailered everywhere and doesn't see much run time.. don't think I'd ever consider not running a pcv system on daily driver though( or a weekend cruiser).. What did you do for an oil fill hole?

 

i hate that term "show car" i don't own one and wont ever own or build one for my self. the pcv and breathers i had all figured out before i bought the sets im still not done with everything i will post updates in the engine thread i have when i get around to it

 

I hope you kept the TIG welds & didn't smooth them out.

 

Can you post a link? I'd like to see how you do it.

 

2 pages of posts & no clue who your even asking. Or WHAT your asking.

 

I was asking him to link his engine thread, I'm curious to how he's going to set up his pcv system. I'd assume he's going to add a hole to each valve cover and hopefully some kind of baffle. Can't really think of any other way to do it and have it work correctly. I saw similiar fabricated valve covers to those on ebay quite cheap and they seemed fairly well constructed. The only problem I saw with them was the lack of anyway to put oil in or add a pcv valve and breather. I mean anyone could obviously drill a hole and stick some grommets in but the holes would lack a baffle which could lead to oil consumption. I guess baffled grommets would help, but I'd personally like a baffle at least as good as the crappy factory covers have.
ps: I only show 1 page, maybe my brower setting allow for more posts on 1 page..

 

undecided at this point still have a intake in the works and i want to see how everything looks before i take a grinder to them

 

here's a link

like i said i got it all figured out theirs a reason why i bought ones with out holes

 

I think he ment that as a structural thing. It's possible that they may crack along the welds if you smooth them out.

 

I couldn't find where you said what you did about the PVC on them......

 

Cool, can't wait to see how ya overcome that. Looks like it's come LONG way.

 

The aluminum ones look killer.

 

the fabricated set you chose are the best. Looks killer. Do you think they would work if you have the standard high mount alternator?

 

Where did you get that wire loom? Looks good.

 

hey fueledsoul where did you get those wire separators, i tired searching summit with no luck have a part# by any chance
