Last question for the day....Where can one purchase the LT-4 Valve covers...the Black ones...? P/N?ss sites? Prices???

 

its called google buddy....use it

actuly try gmpartsdirect.com or a dealership, or you can try vandevere pontiac/gm, can someone please post the contact info for them? if all else fails try searching it on google. im sure a bucnch will pop up, if you still have trouble....well thats just sad...

 

doesnt jason cromer sell these?
i heard he can get you a pretty good deal on them
search the boards for his number and contact info

 

They all sell them & they are appox. $100. each ........... and that is the way they are sold, each.

 

i thought the valve covers were red?

 

Only one color, black. Got mines from Sam Taylor.

And why would you have thought that?

 

Will they clear the alternator? Can they clearance say 1.6RR with a GM 847 cam (about .595 lift on exhaust)?

 

Yes, it will clear the alternator and GMPP 1.6 rr with the hotcam. Dunno about the GM 847 cam.

 

ooooo I like the look of those , do they come will all the mounting hardware and red thingies ?? lol. Also do they dampen the roller rocker noise ??? They are kinda loud with the stock valve covers , not that im complaining .

 

They come with nothing. Everything is separate. The red trims are from mbaproducts.com. The composite covers do quieten down the noise.

 

not to steal the thread but...
i was thinking about getting a 95 z28 and if i wanted to throw 1.7 rr's on it, will they clear the lt4 valve covers?
i heard you can make them clear the stockers but i'd also want to throw a cam in later

 

The LT-4 valve covers are pretty tall...

 

OR you can do what I did.... They sell these in chrome, polished (what i have) or black (what I wanted)


here are some tips...

SVT Killer - Those look good. Where did you get those, and what did they run you?? Do they clear CC pro mag 1.6 NSA rockers without modifications?? Any problems with leaking oil??
Thanks
