Does anyone make aftermarket valve covers for 2.8, 3.1 or 3.4 engines

[Jerriko]

I am rebuilding a 3.4L and I put a Crane cam and trimmings in it. Problem is that the Crane springs are larger in diameter than stock and the stock valve covers will not fit right.

For some reason I think the Fiero 2.8 valve covers will fit on any of the 60° engines but don't quote me on that. 3.4 can tell you, he knows more about the 60° V6 than it's designer ;)

3.4 (echo, echo , echo)...
Where are you? (echo, echo, echo)...

I haven't seen him online in a couple days. Last I heard he was in his garage getting ready for his L36 swap, he may have it done by now [img]tongue.gif[/img]

my dsl modem crapped & I'm posting what I cain from work ( [img]graemlins/evilgrin.gif[/img] )


Yes, Fiero covers are a smidge taller than stock, & look neato-torpedo kewl also
:cool: I think the edelcrotch covers might work too (but not sure)

[Jerriko]

The edelbrock ones are too short, same problem. I found some on ebay today made for a S-10 w/ a 2.8L. They are tall enough.

[3.4 slow to go]

Those are the same ones. Edelcrotch only makes 1 style for the 2.8/3.1/3.4 engines. Might try doubling up on the gaskets, just make sure they are gooped together good before putting on engine.

Did you catch the argument on the general board about 3.4 vs 3800? Someone posted asking if it was possible to make a 34 put out 200 hp or more and it turned into a nasty little debate. fyi, the valve covers I am buying on ebay are different than the ones manufactured by edelbrock. They are 3 3/4" deep while the edelbrock ones are 2 3/4" deep.
