Description
Secure your valve cover with this chrome steel extended T-bar wing nut fastener — no tools required for hand-tightening. The extended T-bar design gives a solid grip for snugging down by hand, while still accepting a wrench if additional torque is needed.
This is a single, one-piece fastener, 5" overall length with a 1" thread length on a 1/4"-20 thread — sold individually, so confirm how many you need per valve cover before ordering. Washers and hold-down tabs are not included.
Fits any valve cover using a 1/4"-20 stud/bolt pattern, common across small block and big block Chevy, Chrysler, Oldsmobile, and Ford small block V8 applications. Its longer profile is a good fit where extra clearance is needed above the valve cover. Always verify your valve cover's fastener thread size before ordering.
Applications
Universal fit for any valve cover using a 1/4"-20 stud/bolt hold-down pattern — including small block and big block Chevy, Chrysler, Oldsmobile, and Ford small block V8 valve covers.
Installation
Confirm your valve cover's fastener thread size before ordering. This is a one-piece fastener, 5" overall length with a 1" thread length; washers and hold-down tabs are not included.

Q&A
How many of these do I need for one valve cover?
This fastener is sold individually, not as a set. Count your valve cover's hold-down points to determine the quantity needed.
Do I need a tool to tighten this?
No. The extended T-bar design allows for hand tightening. Use care to avoid overtightening and damaging the valve cover or gasket.
What's the difference between this and TSP's shorter 4-1/4" T-bar fastener?
This is the longer 5" version, providing additional height and easier access where more clearance above the valve cover is needed. The thread size and general design are otherwise the same.
Will this fit my Chrysler or Oldsmobile valve cover?
Yes, provided your valve cover uses a 1/4"-20 hold-down thread. Verify your existing hardware before ordering.
Does this come with washers or hold-down tabs?
No. Washers and hold-down tabs are not included.
What's the overall length of this fastener?
5" overall, with a 1" thread length and 1/4"-20 thread size.
Will this work on a big block engine, or is it small block only?
It can be used on either small block or big block applications that use a compatible 1/4"-20 valve cover hold-down thread.
