I didnt even know there were repoduced valve covers for our cars.
LOL, I still havent had my car timed in the quarter.
I like my originals a whole lot MMMMUUUUHhhahaha Chromed

 

A few people (myself included) have put the fiero covers on. They are aluminum, and have "ribs" in them. I painted mine to match the color of the car, then polished the top of the ribs back out.

 

nice, how much did it cost to get it chromed? and about the fiero, any v6 fiero would work or what?

It didnt cost me a thing to have it chromed PERKS of my profession, I polished my covers and polished a guys valvecovers "who use to chrome stuff" as a favor and he chromed his and mine. Eventually I will be dabbling into chroming stuff at my polishing shop. Once I make enough to purchase the chroming kit.

 

I guess our aluminum covers would polish up... right? Never thought about polishing them. (Don't know if I have the patience for that, either! I barely had patience to wax my paint!) Should they be shot with some kind of clear paint to protect the polishing work?

 

Mine are in the shop as we speak, they will look as shiny as my HMS strut mounts pictured below. I have a friend that clear powdercoats my stuff for me after I have things polished- that way they stay shiney and won't fingerprint or tarnish.

 

I still have a 2.8 driver's side & 3.4 pass side valve cover not using. Painted them the 500* aluminum & clear-cote. Came out pretty good, but scratches easily .

 

Edelbrock makes chrome valve covers for the 2.8, they're about $60 from Summit. I put them on my car and they look great!

 

hey guys thanx alot!

Isn't the other direct advantage to using Fiero Valve covers for Roller Rocker mods? I am talking about puttin in 1.6:1 without them hitting the covers.

If this is right, then it is yet another reason to invest in the Fiero Aluminum covers.

 

I dont know about the clearence for the roller rockers, but I know if you buy and edelbrock cam, you're not supposed to use the 1.6 rollers. I bought the whole edelbrock power package (cam, intake and carb) for my car and the difference is unbelieveable!

 

Damn, AFGT, those suckers shine! Nice!

 

This is the whole reason I bought Fiero covers- For clearence of 1.6 rockers. The 1.52 steel body roller rockers will fit under the stock covers.

 

Okay, I was just making sure that the clearance was advantage Fiero.

 

Hey guyz, where can I get the Fiero covers? I've been wantin new valve covers and I'm thinkin bout the Fieros! Any other valve covers out there for the 2.8L? Let me know, my Camaro will be out here in 2 weeks so I can work on it!!! :hail: :lala:

 

I have eldabrock (sp?) chromes on my s10 engine.

I had a set of Mr gasket chromes on it at first.

Fieros

Stocks.

Them are the ones I know of.

 

They (Fiero valve covers) can be bought at any junkyard. I paid 15 bucks for mine then cleaned them up at home. E-bay is also an option.

There are two other options.

1. The Edelbrock chrome ones -- You need to buy the baffles for them to work properly and they might not fit the MPFI cars.

2. Overclck had a sticky a while ago about a guy who can powdercoat them in different colors for a nominal price.
