Default GMPP Bowtie valve covers

Anyone have any luck running these on their TPI? I'm talking about the covers with the big bowtie and big "Chevrolet" cast into it.

Anyone?

Very cool! :cool:

Two questions:

Did you have any clearance issues?

Are these the short ones or tall ones?

I appreciate the reply; I'm thinking of getting a pair for myself--I just wanted to make sure if I should go for the short ones, tall ones, or if it matters.

Thanks! :thumbs:

I have had both versions on mine...the tall ones originally when they came out and had to modify the wiper motor and then I recently got the shorter ones and was able to put a stock wiper motor back on..I can send you pics if you want.

My covers are the medium height that I had powder coated. I did modify slightly the plastic case on the windshield wiper motor.

Do a search on the forum. I just saw a post where pictures of modified tall covers were shown. Tall covers will hit the wiper motor. The short would not work with my 1.6 roller rockers so I opted for the Med height.
They work and look good :cheers:
