Chevy Straight 6 194-292 Tall Chrome Steel Valve Cover for Sealing, Clearance, and Engine Bay Detail

These Inline 6-Cylinder valve covers are built around the details buyers search for most: fitment, valve cover height, material, finish, ventilation, and sealing. The 3 1/2" profile, perimeter-bolt mounting style, and plain top style help match the cover to the correct engine build and clearance requirements.

Steel construction with a chrome finish improves durability and engine bay appearance while supporting internal baffling for oil control. The gasket and hardware details should be matched to the application so the covers seal correctly and install cleanly.

Use these valve covers for street performance builds, restorations, swaps, and engine dress-up upgrades where appearance, oil control, and valvetrain clearance matter. Verify gasket style, breather/PCV layout, rocker clearance, and hood clearance before installation.

What applications is this valve cover compatible with?
This valve cover is designed for Chevrolet inline 6-cylinder engines, including the 194, 230, 250, and 292 CID applications. It fits the 292 CID engine only when equipped with a cylinder head that does not use an integral intake manifold.

Will this valve cover fit my engine?
This valve cover is designed for Chevrolet inline-6 engines. Verify that your cylinder head uses the correct factory valve cover mounting pattern and that your valvetrain configuration provides adequate clearance before ordering.

What does a valve cover do?
A valve cover seals the top of the cylinder head to protect the valvetrain from dirt and debris while containing engine oil and helping prevent leaks.

This valve cover is manufactured from steel and features a durable chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and a classic appearance.

How tall is this valve cover?

This valve cover uses the factory-style #9776721 valve cover grommet.

Do I need a gasket for installation?
