hi, for what engine? 6 or V8? the chrome ones are stupid cheap, $18-$19. for chrome covers? really? Sounds like it's too good to be true, I would worry about fit. The billet aluminum ones are also really cheap, but look good. Caveat Emptor! No, I haven't used these. Last 6cyl valve cover a friend bought, made in the USA, cost $245.! not kidding, top of the line though. The last one i bought, about $100. V8, got some nice ones from Tony Zamish in CA for over $300. So... those prices are unreal, but ..you never know, may be ok. Let us know if you buy, how they fit, etc. The company describes itself as an Ebay seller, this tells you they basically sell offshore products. good luck, gz

 The covers I'm talking about are for a V-8 for my rambler wagon. Check the website I posted and you can see them.

hi, I DID check the website! that's how I found out the prices! Are you interested in the chrome ones or the aluminum ones, and what is your engine? They may be great, they may not. good luck, gz

I bought the aluminum fabricated covers with the fins. Might have to trim them to fit the 290 heads going on the 304. They were $144 shipped.

So much for the valve covers. Got an e-maill today my payment has been refunded. Guess they're out of stock.

Did you find any other aluminum covers yet? I am looking for a decent set also but, Bulltear is kind of high for me.
This is America. What you believe is not the problem... What you believe I SHOULD BELIEVE is the problem!

Got a pair from a guy in Barberton Oh. on Ebay. Had to grind on the mounting surface to fit around the raised portion of the head casting. Couldn't get a reply when I emailed him for some info. If they don't leak I'll be ok with them. My engine won't be ready to start till sometime next year so I can't give you any feedback on them. Cost me $166 + shipping.
