    I've got a set just like these on my car. They look good but had a really hard time getting them to seal. Plan on getting cork gaskets from trishield before you instal them.

    I have these same covers in my shopping cart for $99 just never pulled the trigger, I guess now would be the time. Thanks for the link, you might have saved me 20 bucks if I go this rout. I still like the Poston or TA covers better but I all ways seem to miss out on them.

    Your welcome. I thought other's might like this. You know when these first became available the would auction off on eBay for over 200
    There was no buy it now. Its Been a few years ago now since they first appeared.

    Iron heads. R side sealed ok L side was a PITA. Placed the covers on a known flat surface and they were warped. Ended up getting Almac valve cover clamps and some thick cork gaskets from Jim. Hasnt leaked a drop since.

    Should have sent back for exchange
    Maybe a bad set. First time I've heard a compliant
    I how there have hundreds of sets sold. Anybody else. Noah performance. Makes countless different valve covers. I think there quality is very good from what I've read about them on internet.

    They look very nice. I wish someone made an original looking set such as these but yet tall enough to clear roller rockers. I have tried the doubled valve cover gasket approach but they just don't seal well......
