Chevy Small Block Short Bolt Fabricated Aluminum Valve Covers with Breather Holes Clear Anodized for Sealing, Clearance, and Engine Bay Detail

These Chevrolet Small Block Perimeter-Bolt valve covers are built around the details buyers search for most: fitment, valve cover height, material, finish, ventilation, and sealing. The tall profile, perimeter-bolt mounting style, and plain top style help match the cover to the correct engine build and clearance requirements.

Fabricated Aluminum construction with a clear anodized finish improves durability and engine bay appearance while supporting breather hole provisions for crankcase ventilation and internal baffling for oil control. Gasket and mounting hardware are not included — match these to your application so the covers seal correctly and install cleanly.
