My valve cover is leaking oil all down the back of my 258 and tranny. This is handy in one way, for rust proofing. On the other hand it smokes like a Ford and goes through oil like it's goin' out of style.I was looking for some opinions on a replacement metal cover. I've seen kits and was wondering if anyone has installed one.
Can a 4 litre cover be adapted with some drilling and tapping? Thanks in advance!

The after market aluminum cast valve cover is great I have installed lots of them. The cover of a 4.0 litre will not work. The aftermarket cover is well worth the $$$$ :D :D

They work well. Check w/4WD Hardware at www.4wd.com (http://www.4wd.com) I think theirs is about $110. Not bad figuring a plastic replacement is $70.
