Valve Covers??

[Sleek-Jet]

Does anyone know if you can still buy polished aluminum valve covers for an Olds??? I was going to salvage on old pair that came with the boat, but they have to much corrosion.
Dick Miller has some cool fabricated ones, but $$$$. I was looking for some Holley/MT's, it looks like our friends at Holley have stopped making them though. cry
Any suggestion, or am I going to be stuck with the stamped steel chromies??? :confused:

Does the GM high performance catalog have any? They have some very nice shit in there. Might be a bit of money, but they will have a good flange and won't leak.

I think they do, but their Olds covers aren't polished, and I'm not really set up to do that right now. Otherwise I would pobably buy them and polish them myself.

Just a guess But I think Offenhauser is written right on them.

Right after I posted that, I knew what the response was going to be. :p :rolleyes:
The one's I have don't have the Offy breathers, all they say on the inside is "Oldsmobile 330-425".
I've always guessed Offy, but don't know for sure.

On my project list are billet valve covers for my boat. I can't wait to get them done.

those are identical to the ones on my boat except for the breathers and they are made by hardin marine. A local guy here in arizona has a set hanging on the wall and they look brand new(polished aluminum). Give him a call @ 480-834-1531 ask for brian or phil bergeron.

I ordered mine from a small hotrod shop in Huntington Beach. They are offys and I think they were $230.00.

Thanks for all the help.
Heres what the plan is now, I'm getting a polishing motor and pads and am going to try to salvage the valve covers I have now, and try my hand at polishing a few other pieces on the boat as well. :D
In the mean time, I'll run a set of chrome steelies. Wish me luck
