2.8 Valve Covers??

Are there any aftermarket valve covers (edlebrock, moroso, etc.) that are made for 2.8L? Also, can 2.8L Fiero valve covers fit the Camaro 2.8L? Thanks

Fiero Valve covers fit, just make sure you get the bolts and gaskets for them. If you have those absurd External Torx bolts on your valve covers, pick up the driver too.

Everyone remembers them chrome edelbrock cover but forgets they do not have the oil baffling plats that the stock covers do. so they almost become useless.

why/ how does that make them useless? i have them on my car, have had for probably 8,000 miles....not a single problem. 1.6:1 roller tipped, factory style rockers fit under them fine too.

you dont need baffles on the valve covers, they do almost nothing.

Most aftermarket valve covers dont come with baffles, and there is a reason.
