Sbc Chevy Pol. Fabricated Tall Center Bolt Valve Covers No Acc. Holes 8072-2p on 2040-parts.com

These valve covers have a somewhat bright semi polished finish. We find our customers prefer a finish that is somewhere between a high polish and semi polished look. We have sold thousands of these over the years, and all have been satisfied with the finish. These are considered a polished finish, but not to the highest degree such as chrome plating would appear. We can honestly say they have a much better shine than our pictures show them to have. You will notice the strong reflections on the sides in the above pics, yet very little on the top. This is an illusion. The tops are as reflective as the sides are. 

Important Notes.

The long bolt style valve covers can be difficult to install if a special procedure is not followed. You must start each bolt with no more than a half turn into the threaded holes in the cylinder head. The welded tubes in the valve covers that the long bolts go through are usually not in a perfect line with the threaded holes in the cylinder head. These tubes usually shift slightly when welded to the frame work on the inside of the valve cover. By starting each one of the long bolts with no more than one half turn, you will be able to move the valve cover into position to allow each one of the other bolts to start into the threaded holes in the cylinder head. After you have all the bolts partially screwed into each hole in the cylinder head, you should not have a problem screwing each bolt all the way into the threaded hole in the cylinder head. Each tube will draw itself into the exact position, and the tubes will stay in the correct position even when the valve covers are removed. If you start any of the long bolts with more than one half turn, then there is a great chance you will run into a problem. The intense heat from the welding is what causes this. We have experienced this with all long bolt valve covers on the market.

We have used these valve covers on thousands of our high performance engines for over 10 years without any issues. On occasion, you may notice a slight degree of warpage on the rails before installation. This is due to the heat generated by the massive amount of welding done around the outer edge of the rails. This warpage is not a problem. When the valve covers are bolted on, they will pull down flat and seal well. Any micro amounts of variation left over after you have bolted them down will be compensated for by the gaskets. Any and all fabricated valve covers with such welding on the rails will have this characteristic. It's simply not a problem in the least. We dyno many of the engines using these valve covers. The engines are brought up to considerably high rpm levels, and rarely do we ever see any signs of oil seepage. They seal very well.
