Valve cover options

Plus, if you run a spacer, then you have to run spacer shenanigans on your EGR tube as well to make it reach. If you delete your EGR, you'll get a Check Engine Light and the car will idle like crap.

Summit techs are about as smart as a Bonobo monkey with Down syndrome. Listen to us, not them.

I asked them for some info about a cam a looooong time ago, and informed them it was for a 418 cubic inch Ford motor. They told me those don't exist. :tard:

Paul.

I was going to mention this earlier, take summit tech answers with caution, if you're not 100% sure about a part you want to get and have already done your research don't leave it to them to decide for you. A while back I bought some ford racing valve covers from them and the tech assured me that they would fit my stock 95 GT. I bought the VCs, arp studs, gaskets and breathers, put them on only to find out that they were way too tall for my car. Guess who got the worst part of that deal? I had to pay to ship them back and their B.S. re-stocking fee

^^ Trickflow tells you what you need in their package to run it on the SN95, so I got the kit, ordered the extra parts, and was good to go

i already deleted the egr and had my car tuned with no egr. i had to make a plate to cover the hole in the elbow.and who ever fixed my siggy i thank you very much. hey paul did you powder coat that alternater or buy it? looks sweet

Paul · Mar 14, 2011

I powdercoated it myself. I did all the powdercoating on that motor myself in my garage. Even replaced the three alternator case bolts with ARP 12 points! :tongue3:

Paul.

on the subject of powdercoating, how much did your whole set up cost to get running?

panther007 · Mar 14, 2011

paul you wouldnt think about doing my alternater would ya? and det_riot i want your hood!!! damn nice

Paul · Mar 14, 2011

Powdercoating guns and powder are cheap. Installing an oven, a 220v outlet for the oven, my $1500 compressor, the wiring and breakers for that compressor (which is used to drive my blast cabinet) costs a lot of money.

No, I don't do mail-order coating. Occasionally I'll make a part and sell it (like my awesome valve covers) but I don't have time right now, especially since I'm so focused on getting my car done. Besides, getting stuff powdercoated is pretty cheap anyway. I'm sure you could find a place local to do it.

im a electrician so breakers are cheap if you need any more

Paul · Mar 14, 2011

Hah! I wish I had an electrician here that I could trade out work for. All my electrical stuff cost me a goddamn fortune.

like i said if you guys need something that i can help you with just ask

panther007 · Mar 17, 2011

anybody have any fox valve covers they feel the need to get rid of?

Paul · Mar 17, 2011

I have some, but I won't let them go for free. They've already been thoroughly cleaned and bead blasted, so I've got some time and work into 'em. Plus, shipping valve covers isn't free.

Paul.

Win · Mar 17, 2011

yeah shipping valve covers via USPS parcel post ranges anywhere from 15-20 bucks. Just depends on where it's coming from. Thanks again Javi!

I have some fox and some moroso ones. Fox ones are painted like a candy red the morosos are chrome

panther007 · Mar 18, 2011

i didnt want them for free. nothing in this world is free .what you gotta have for them?

panther007 · Mar 24, 2011

well any body gonna give me a price?

Paul · Mar 25, 2011

Sorry, forgot about this. Mine are blasted and flawlessly clean. $40 plus shipping. I can get you pictures, but it would take me a few days because I'm in Vegas.
