greetings , is there anyone here using aftermaket valve covers? i would like to get rid of the bailing wire clip type ,something that bolts on securely.

cheers

Robin

so you'd rather have more leaking oil eh???

CB Performance if you think you are "improving" things

Robin, I have a nice set of bolt ons. See the pic. They're real handy because you don't need to change your oil again. Just add oil.

okay.... I get the message ,thru your subtle humor . i'll keep what i have>

BTW Paul when would you like me to come get that right door?

I'm home tomorrow afternoon.

I had bolt-on valve covers for my VW (aluminum and finned). For several years (like, 10 or so). I liked the look and mine never leaked so long as I used new O-rings on the studs every time I put the covers back on (O-ring then hold down nut) and cork valve cover gaskets. But it gets to be a real pain when removing the cover takes longer than the actual valve adjustment!

I finally got tired of the wrenching and went back to stock valve covers and bails. Yeah, not as purdy lookin' but much quicker and easier valve adjustments now

Interesting, I see the T4 holes for the studs are offset whereas the T1/T3 are more centered in the vertical axis.
