    Has anybody had any experience with these Ebay $200 cast aluminum valve covers. They look pretty good, but what is the quality?

    Old Postons... Nice units. I have a set on my 455. no issues with quality, they are good covers. IIRC, they will clear roller rockers.

    I used this email when I bought mine in January of 2019:

    rolandh@supervac.com

    I'm pretty sure that's the same on the page? Never tried the phone number.

    I had an old set of those. Mine weren't flat. Had to re- mill the surface. I also didn't like the small bolt areas, had to use allen head bolts, plus no recessed area to contain gasket.
    They may have improved them by now....

    Wonder if they were stuff they bought before (or after) poston went out of business?

    Black only. Yes they bought the stock after poston went under.
