Machined Valve Covers and T-case

[snowborder714]

I bet that is because of installation issues and not the fact that they're crap. I've had the same gasket on there for at least a year with no leaks.

I wish that was the case.

Uh.... For that price they better be made of some space aged technology that defies gravity allowing for uber wicked lightweight engine...

jk. I'll keep my 10 dollar valve cover and 10 dollar paint.

Ok let's get this straight. I have dibs on the first one off the press. With cutting oil still on it. Cc already on file. I'm just sayin. Been waiting on this for months. Heck I have everything else he makes. This guy makes some great parts and is an all around nice guy. Not a fan of his choice of breakfast Cereal, but hey no one is perfect. Keep up the great work drew.

Wish I had your CC on file for when I built you braces at your request. They are still here in a box. Just sayin.



EDIT: Louis called and made things right. Thanks you sir!

This is definitely the case, the stock gasket is perfectly fine if you know how to install and torque it down properly. I installed too many to count and never had one leak prematurely. It is the same style gasket that pretty much every ohc car on the market uses.

I had the pleasure of hold and helping installing(I mainly drooled and groped) Andrews prototype valve cover on Tim Zimmer's car. I can not stress how well built the unit is. The tolerance are better than stock and the finish is beyond beautiful. Anyone who ponies up for one of these will not be sorry!

Simply amazing work that Andrew has done designing this unit!

Here are a few quick pics I snapped. It looks even better with the lines installed. Sorry no pics of that. To busy gabbing like a little girl with my friends.

Here's a pic that was posted on Facebook that shows the lines.

I also had the same opportunity as Kevin (after helping out with some other work on his car) and it's an incredible piece. Very well designed and executed, looks amazing, feels so freakin' solid, and the prototype COP plate makes it look even better...if that's possible

Looks great, I wish Tim would run a big turbo.

That is beautiful. And the machined oil cap tops it off. Thinking about saving for one of these. You guys did say there's a possibility of a normal plug cover that'll match right? Not sure if I'm gonna do the cop upgrade yet or not.

I cant get a v/c gasket to last more than 2 months before it starts leaking.

I bet that is because of installation issues and not the fact that they're crap. I've had the same gasket on there for at least a year with no leaks.

Same here. I used the same Felpro VC gasket kit on two motors and one head swap, with the VC coming off and on countless times...not a single leak. This current one has been through two heads and probably six VC removals with no issues...and it didn't really need to be replaced in the first place.

Just a flat, clean VC with a tiny bit of black RTV in the corners and on the half moon where the FSM states is all it takes.

I can not stress how well built the unit is. The tolerance are better than stock and the finish is beyond beautiful. Anyone who ponies up for one of these will not be sorry!

Agreed 100%.

Just wait until pics of the matching COP plate start surfacing.

Yes he will be offering a cover for standard plug wires.

So umm...my birthday is coming up. You guys should surprise me =)

 

[1997_GSX]

Andrew does great work, as soon as I saw Tims car I had to run over and check out this unit, the oil cap is even baller!

Didn't know you took ccs. Will be happy to give it to you. I have been very busy lately, that's why he has the cc. Didn't even know he took them until recently. Will contact you later today.

 

[gabytech]

I cant wait for mine... Andrew let me know when mine is done, remember the logo needs to be the other way since its for a RWD 4g63 conversion..

Thanks for the call and making things right sir! It's much appreciated.

[tkstoygsx]

these look amazing. Great work! Once my engine is built and ready for some visual upgrades I will be very interested in this. Also, has there been any install and testing of the T/case brace yet?

 

[greengoblin]

One was installed on Tim's car as well. There will need to be a small design change but it is a very, very nice unit. You would have to contact Andrew to find out when it's public release date is.

The t-case braces will be going on a couple other test cars that break t-cases on a regular basis to get abused. Public release will come after I know they work!

 

[talont3t4]
