Default so far they work

crappy teaser pic




Decided to be the test dummy for these and so far they seem to work the oil just slides off after you turn off the engine. There are a couple of down sides to these though besides the cost of 285 they scratch easy and tight to get on, If the bolt holes were a tiny bit bigger it would of been better. They only been on this month and are not a daily so we will see how they hold up and if it goes as its been I may buy another set or two for the other cars I have with 1.6 ratio rockers. Overall I am happy with them, they are still clear and I think they make a perfect combo for are vets vs regular valve covers.

Different, interesting and pricey. I wonder how they will hold up and if they will discolor?

They have a 1yr warranty against yellowing or hazing so probably after a year or so. Said they tested on a daily for 2 yrs and still was clear but I take that with a grain of salt. I only drive this one when I am off from work usually or if I don't feel like moving another car. We will see how it goes
