2 piece sbc valve covers?

Post by bthomas »

Any experiences with 2piece valve covers for sbc? I have a project I’m working on, and it’s looking like I’ll need to pull the intake to get the valve covers on/off.

I have a pair of the proform ones which work good until the gasket between the two covers gets old then they leak. The gaskets seem to last about 5 years.

Do the two piece use a special gasket for the top part or just another basic valvecover gasket?

I know as much as I can learn and try to keep an open mind to anything!

If I didn't overthink stuff I wouldn't be on speedtalk!
