Does anyone make aftermarket valve covers for the 2v other than trick flow and BBK? I've done some searches but can't seem to find anything for a "reasonable" price. I think the BBK ones looks the coolest so far but there seems to be an issue with them sealing properly.
Yeah I saw some Morosos that were about 500. I think I'll try the BBKs and see how they work. Thanks. Sent from mah Obamafone
I heard the bbk don't seal all that well. Mine are team breed but they are out of business now I think.
I've heard the same. I was just hoping it was a fluke from the two people I knew that had them. I like yours. Clean and simple. The trick flow ones look like a stock cover with a plaque stock on it. Sent from mah Obamafone
There you go! Find a perfect set, clean them up, and paint them to look aluminum. If looks are the only reason to run the aluminum VC, I think you could pull off some tricks.
Yeah I just didn't really like the stock look. With a 302 you can spend 500 on an intake and get performance and good looks. I kinda like how mine looks stock. Just wish it looked a little better. There's a guy local that can powder coat them so I'll just take a look at that.
Here's what mine look like polished. VT Engines/CMS were selling them with their logo engraved for a few years so you may be able to find some if you like them. I may polish mine up since they are off the car. I need to do my exhaust so might as well do these too.
Those look awesome. I may go with the aluminum look since I got burnt out on polishing with my Chevelle when I was younger. I was one of those guys with a chromed out engine bay plus everything else on the car seemed like it was chrome on the car. Sent from mah Obamafone
When I detailed my buddy's engine bay, I ended up painting the stock valve covers a flat aluminum color, then I wet sanded the ribs so that the black came back through. It was free, and gives it a little bit of detail to the stockers:
Shoooo......looks awesome! The only way I'd splurge for aluminum VC is if I would be mounting a distributor
I like the Morosos but there's no way I'm spending $500 on valve covers. That looks really good. AND it's orange! Lol Sent from mah Obamafone
