I realize...but they sell the valve covers. They're made by a small company called Carbon Components in Carlsbad, CA.
I'm pretty sure Scooter's is the only distributor for their products.

Dont know if this was asked but are there any supports inside the carbon covers?

The reason many people want VCs is so they have extra clearance for Roller rockers and such.

No. These are a completely empty shell inside, no supports whatsoever.

is it hard to get the gaskets to stay put?

+3 on the ebay aluminum VC's

the grommet is way too loose and makes oil leak out there

and yes those bolts are terrible, what bolts are you guys running?

Nope. Use the Fel-Pro blue matte-finish gaskets, soak them in hot water, stretch them out some, and glue them into the valve covers using "Right Stuff". NO issues.

I bought some nice polished rounded head 1/4"-20 bolts with a hex drive. Had to cut them to the right length, but they worked awesome and looked great.

but how did the bolts fit into the countersunk bolt hole in the cover?
