Default Can someone answer this ?

I'm changing my valve covers on my 1992 - LT1. I took some before pictures so I could show the difference but I have come to a situation that doesn't look right to me! The lines on the valve covers are not the same from the driver's side compared to the passengers side - is this right or were the put on wrong from the factory, because there hasn't been any work done on this engine that would involve the removal of the valve covers. Am I crazy or are they the right way? I want to change the passenger side now because I already changed the driver's side, and I don't want to take the driver's side apart again because of all that is involved around the valve covers that needed to be taken apart first before I could remove the valve cover.

Please help shed some light on this!
Thanks in advance...

I belive the way you have the covers is correct.

Those are right. As stated its missing the emblem on the one side. Powder coat those babies bro they need it. Will make a nice statement with the fuel rail covers.

I'd say your headed in the right direction. After all your work I'm sure your going to want to showoff your project. Buy a couple cans of engine cleaner and engine detailers. You won't believe the before and after pics. Keep us posted. Copper
