    Would be cool if its really the covers for the export kit.

    Honestly it's hard for me to read the text.

    nailhead_matt factory experimental valve covers i forgot we stumbled across a decade ago. have never seen another set. my guess is they originally intended for export rockers, which ended up not being required for adjustable rockers which was an early engine export package, consisting of true 10 to 1 pistons, HP intake gaskets, and solid lifter cam with adjustable rockers. #nailhead #buicknailhead #buick #nailheadbuick

    That's wild! I know Tom T had quite a task when he designed his roller rockers to fit under the stock valve covers.
    Matt is a member here, but I don't think he likes us! Too bad, he has a lot to offer, guess he prefers the Facebook groups.
    I learned a lot from his Dad Russ when the Yahoo Nailhead group was still active.

    Sorry about that. It's a snip pic and just noticed when I enlarge the screen the wording is weak.

    I didn't think that it was possible to make a Nailhead ugly, but those valve covers managed it. I suppose it would be a great conversation starter, but unless there's something under them that makes them necessary, they would be conversation starters hanging on a wall.

    Yup, it takes away the sharp square and rectangular lines that make these motor look so good..
