Excellent !!!   Good luck!!!

My before and after pics. Used the epoxy paint. Cleaned everything with thinner and went to town. Epoxy paint is slow to dry but very strong. I sanded with those 3m fiber pads. Very happy with it.

Looks great!!!!

finally got my boat back together from dining it it took a lot of work time and money but she's done and better then ever

jam

Sweeeet.   Drop it in da water !!!!

We use the fel-pro blue stripe gaskets on all our dragster stuff because I lash the valves every other pass, they work bitchin and last 3 years or so.. Also, try studs if the bolts bottom out..

Sounds like a plan.   The
New covers are the short bolt style ...
Hopefully that will work better. 
Thx

Sounds like a joke... Not trying to be negative, but man, at some point you gotta say F-it ! Haha good luck guys 👍

Yes..... I already did.  Steel covers coming and scrapping the aluminum covers..... I can be stubborn, but I got pinned on this one.  ;0)

I have a set of those hand made valve covers and also had trouble getting them to seal. I ended up doing gasket maker, then a cork gasket, then gasket maker. They don't seem to be leaking anymore. Also found a pin hole in one of my covers that was leaking oil. A little squirt of gasket maker fixed that too.

On mine, the bolts will not drop to the bottom of the bolt holes so I can't cinch them down. I love the look, but .....

I have a buddy who had problems with the fabricated style covers also. Holes didnt line up at all.... Seems to be somewhat common with these. They look really good when they work properly ! I think he had bought the pro comp covers....

They do look very nice, but as far as quality..... It's just not there.

Hopefully the new ones ordered will do
The trick.

When I bought the boat, there was oil on the valve covers leaking from the breathers....and the gaskets .... I pulled the covers and they had been attacked with a drill at some point to attach 'tall ' ' breathers that had nothing inside them.....hard  to explain, I'll post a photo later.... The valve covers were ruined.

ANYWAY...I bought some aluminum welded covers and the first set was not even close to being right... They were not square...didn't even
Bother putting em on.   Really crappy welds.....I returned em. Got another set..... Holes in the welds....bad craftsmanship ... Returned em.... Got a third set..... Better.....but  They leaked too.... Changed gaskets 3 times ... STILL leaking...... Put the puke tank on, and it did help..... But them sons a bitches are dribbling ......and I'm running out of degreaser and rags.

 So I bought a set of steel covers and I'm waiting for them arrive. 

Gaskets .......

Cork or rubber??   Or rubber with the steel Inserts?   

So I just dropped the boat an the motor off at the shop. The owner said he's going to do what ever it takes to make this thing perfect. So hopefully ill have a boat back in time to finally meet some of you guys in Blythe in September

Good deal.   

Nicely done.......
