New Sheet metal valve covers for cheap

[DBL.DWN]

The stock are hex head and what they provide are socket head cap. Even with my rather extensive supply of tools trying to get around the covers and longtubes to tighten the socket head caps was difficult (on the bottom side).
The covers drilled holes are also too small to accept the factory bolts so short of drilling them out, you don’t have a choice but to use the supplied hardware.

Gotcha. socket heads can be a pain. They give a little cleaner look tho. What would you think of torx head?

Man, those do look great.

Me personally, I have the same feeling with torx heads as the sockets. But that’s probably just because I don’t have as many tools/adapters devoted to those as typical bolts. As you said though, they both do look cleaner.

Also for everyone invested, I run stanke stabilizer bars and shaft collars and these clear those as well.

Sweet!

Any issues with the dipstick clearing/mounting on the other side with the extra height or did you just slightly bend it out of the way?

Bent it slightly.

Cool thanks for your response. I have a 06 300SRT8 we working on installing a set of these onto (black fab valve covers with red MSD coils) and my dipstick has a dual tab mount that attaches to the valve cover studs themselves...thinking I will swap to a 6.1 challenger dipstick tube that will mount to the header bolts, bend it a little if necessary and call it a day. Yours looks great with the silver!

If anyone else has bought a set of these, can you post any problems you have had with them and a few pics? Thank you!

I and one other person I know had fitment issues with the Holley covers and Stanke's hold downs on Edlebrock heads, no issues on the other so far just the Eddy's Eddy's with Stanke hold downs work well just like stock
