Cast aluminum? Stamped steel? Which ones work better?

How hard is it to replace them? I've never done them before and wondered if anyone has a quick write-up about how to do it. Mine look like doo-doo.

 

I am getting some Edelbrock Elite Series Valve Covers w/ Breather. I think they look real nice.

 

um lets see just unscrew 4 bolts and remove...rough stuff...will be a bitch on the pass side if your emmissions are there tho

 

My favorite are these:



but I can't seem to find them anywhere

 

That's all there is to it? Cool. I'll start searching. And you're right, all that smog crap above the passenger cover is going to make it a pain.

105$ a set...is that a fair price compared to say a set of edelbrocks or something? i havent really been able to find any center hole ones anywhere

 

These were $112 at Summit......

 

i took mine out with all the smog crap there and cleaned them up and painted them high temp silver. they are dirty but you can kinda see em in this pic

 

Heres mine, I bought these at Pepboys for about 40$

 

i got the 42 dollar ones from summit..same style as factory but chrome and the oil cap needs to be pushed on now instead of screwed on. replacing is easy. all u really need to get out of the way is the heater valve and the diverter valve. once those are out on the pass. side 4 bolts will take it out. gaskets are a bitch though. i stretched mione out around a garbage can so when i put them in they fit pretty close to where they should. centerbolt gaskets need to be stretched cuz they are rubbery for some reason and trying to put them on without stretching them is a pain. anyways, when ur ready, put some rtv..very little, is spots on the cover to hold the gasket in place during installation. also, make sure u disconect the battery b4 starting. torque should be about 15 ft. llbs on the bolts, just put them tight enough not to leak. any ques. email me... camaroguy72@aol.com
