Doesn't fit in my head.

Will not fit between valve train. Doesn't work on my ZZ4 heads. Interferes with rocker arms when bolted to heads to allow heavy impact to the underside of the rocker arm. To be fair it appears to be of decent quality

NOT one size fits all

Excellent quality and good workmanship. Will not fit my old Edelbrock center bolt caps. I had to cut extensions on the valve covers and modify the adapter by cutting out the center areas to clear the head bolts. The adapter kept touching the head screws. With a little ingenuity and a buddy with the right tools we installed them and the valve covers look great!

Pros
  • Replacement parts
Cons
  • Out of fashion

You need gaskets between the head and the adapters

They leak badly. Luckily I had some extra spacers between them and the heads. Gaskets solved the leakage problem. If the information or instructions said anything about the need for a gasket, the fact that I need one wouldn't bother me. I had to loosen the rocker arms to attach them, but that didn't really matter as I still had to adjust them.
