    hello
    How long are aluminum valve cover bolts?
    Are they the same length as the originals or longer?

    regards Klaus

    I believe longer because I just read a thread written by JW about some custom-made valve cover both. He was saying something about they have to be a little bit longer because the aluminum valve covers where they made to the engine are a little bit thicker.

    All aluminum valve covers are not the same.

    The stamped steel valve cover bolts will work fine with the alum covers. 3-1/2" long.
    The bolts for the alum covers are chromed, I'm unsure of their length, I'd bet they are the same.
    The valley cover bolts are the same design but a little shorter, they may work as well.
