Wheres the cheapest place to get Lt4 valve covers and how much are they going for?
Looking for the plastic Lt4 VC's. Also, does the alternator need to be altered inorder to run these?

Re: Wheres the cheapest place to get Lt4 valve covers and how much are they going for?
This is what you will need. Not sure of the prices as I grabbed this off an
old post on the topic:
(1) LT4 VALVE COVER (DRIVER SIDE), PN 12552321, $63.60
(1) LT4 VALVE COVER (PASSENGER SIDE), PN 12552322, $68.40
(8) VALVE COVER SCREWS, PN 10108675, $0.75/each
(8) VALVE COVER STUDS, PN 10108674, $2.57/each
(1) OIL FILLER CAP, PN 12555685, $3.79
If you want to get an idea of the current price just check gmpartsdirect with
the above PNs. I find that the gmpartsdirect price (total w/shipping) is about
the same as the discount price I get from my local dealer.

Re: Wheres the cheapest place to get Lt4 valve covers and how much are they going for?
After just one hr with my new Scorpion Roller Rockers and Beehive Springs I am fed up with the noise. They arent clacking but they are loud in general...
Question,,, I am thinking of buying the LT4 covers.. What Kind of Gasket can I use?? and what are the screws and studs for? the OEM valve covers go with long screws only.. when you mention studs and screws makes me think there are some type of modification required before the LT4 valve covers can be installed succesfully...
does anyone know?

Don't listen to Shoebox about the LT4 hose, Just cut it to length and the heat from the engine will straigten the small curve out.
