corvetteforum provides web space.

I think it's a little in flux right now. I haven't used it personally...

Re: cleaaned my engine (Racer78)

Those are the 84-86/87 valve covers. In 1987 they went to centerbolt. Becareful with those covers, they are magnesium. Do not try to polish or wirebrush them as magnesium is a flamable metal when it gets hot enough. Some people found out when they tried to use a wire brush attached to a drill to strip the finish off :eek: :eek: :mad :eek: :eek:
