60 valve cover flaw
My 7 fin valve covers have the casting flaw. So...
Is it the original valve covers have the casting flaw by the Corvette "o", or is it the remanufactured ones that have the casting flaw?

valve covers, any comments or tips on getting rid of the flaws?
Seeing that this is a 1964 327 engine in a 1960 then I need to start sanding and buffing out the flaws. From what you are saying is a 1960 does not have the flaw.
Any comments or tips on getting rid of the flaws?

I bought a set of no flaw, had them polished and now have them out for chroming....if you can find a set already chromed in great shape you will be money way ahead.....getting a set chromed is not cheap.

you need to buy a set that does not have them. I have a set of polished covers that had the flaw and you can still see it.....only way is to get a set that never had them.
