Default anyone use these valve covers?


saw them on ebay and thought they didn't look to bad. I was going to change my valve cove gasket and was curious to see if anyone had bought them.

They look decent but if you already have a cast aluminum cover (I believe 96s still had cast aluminum and they went to stamped steel in 97) it wouldn't be much of an upgrade, and a spray can of high-temp paint will do wonders for allot less money if you want to make yours look nicer. They probably would be a nice upgrade over the cheap stamped steel covers though.


For a gasket I would recommend a Fel-Pro PermaDry/PermaDryPlus, these are rubber (PermaDry) or Silicone (PermaDryPlus) steel and seal much better than the standard cork gaskets. (That e-bay cover looks like it comes with something similar to the PermaDry)
