Does anyone have a set of stock centerbolt valve covers? If so, what do ya want for them? Very Happy

Dude I think I pitched mine.

When do you need them? If I have them they are in my storage unit and I'll be unloading it hopefully in about 35 days.

Damn. I just tossed a brand new set of black factory ones a few weeks ago! Sorry dude.

Lame. Aaron had some he tossed a while back too.

The soonest I can anticipate wanting them is the beginning of next month, so I may just have to buy them. If someone comes up with a set by then, I am all ears. Smile

I have a set of stock black ones. Or maybe those are the ones James has. Either way, you are welcome to them. And hey, if you could bring that ALDL cable down with you so I can do some data logging that would be awesome! Cool

I'll be heading down to tacompton tomorrow, I could swing by and grab the covers?

Thanks for the offer Ian. Aaron already brought them up last weekend and they don't fit my rockers.

Apparently, you need the tall center bolt covers, I've heard that's almost a requirement with roller rockers.

Most of the aluminum centerbolt covers will require a special cork gasket too. They dont have the groove for the stock rubber band. Mr gasket and felpro make the correct gasket. The felpro is over $40 but the mr gasket is like $15

I'm just going to use my perimeter bolt covers that were on my old heads. They fit fine on the new ones too.

I'll bring the other covers back down to you sometime, James.
