2.8 Valve Covers, any news on availability of aftermarket

[mummert]

Just curious if any of the good valve covers are available. Someone made mention of Euro OEM somewhere.

Just curious if any of the good valve covers are available.

This reference is from a post by DanR concerning interest in a group buy about a decade ago.

We have had to Group Buys from John Redmond JRCAST.com

That said, the link seems to be a MIA operation at this point.

Good luck with your quest,

Euro ones come up on UK Ebay now and then.

Kelly Mathis modified the early Capri valve covers. If you find a set and do this, maybe you could mass produce them? Looks like there would be a market:

Thanks for the ideas guys. Are the Euro Sierra covers hard to find?

pcmenten on this site had a pair too. I don't know if he would part with them.

I haven't seen pcmenten lately. He comments on our Y Block videos quite a bit.

I PM'd you on a couple for sale.

Maybe he is on vacation.....

Thanks, I left a reply to the seller here. So we'll see how that goes.

I am running a set of those. Found them on a UK. Capri Club website. Had to convince the seller that shipping to USA was do-able (DHL is king over there). It worked out fine for both of us. They are slightly larger than the stock covers - I had to massage my alternator mounting a bit.
