Anybody used the Mitzone Aluminum valve covers and if so, how did it work out?

For the price, I would try them.

I saw those but I just can't bring myself to buy them. I think the real benefit is being able to replace the spark plug tube seals.

read the reviews real well , i was going to buy them but people were saying they were not clean casts they had to clean up bits and pieces of aluminum that would fall into the motor , they also said they had leak problems so i just steared clear

Is there a way to service them so that there is no shavings falling off inside the engine? I really wanna buy these

Well i received my Concept Z valve covers and they look good. No runs in paint and as ordered. Gaskets came with them and plug seals. Now about the coil packs, i decided on the MSD blaster coils as they had OK reviews. I didn't want to blow my entire project budget on coil packs alone plus shipping for the Okada ones. Now to contact my shop for a booking. They are black and should make a good stealthy look. It looks like a bigger job to remove the Kinetix intake and the other assorted tubes and harnesses. Better confirm at least a day to get them done right.
MIght as well change the camshaft sensors as well

My wife bought me these for a Christmas present, and I finally installed them.
I have a couple of things to add.

There were no scratches or scuffs, and the plastic bits were intact.

I had no casting issues, and the threaded holes were all fine out of the box. I expected issues with flashing, but mine were good.

Several Youtube videos recommend removing the small screws n the baffle and reinstalling them with loctite. After removing about 20 screws, I realized that they already had blue loctite on them.

I reused the original bolts and PCV valve.

I cracked my crossover tube between the covers, I would recommend ordering a replacement before installing. None of my local shops had one in stock, and they are less expensive online.

The gaskets that come with the valve covers seemed nice, and the fit snug. They are preinstalled, so I did not see any warping. I put a small dab of RTV in the corners before turning it over to install.
I had a leak on the drivers side, but it was on the far right side next to the fender, not the corner.
When I pulled the cover, the gasket tore a little, so I replaced it with a Felpro gasket. No leaks after that.

I am quite happy with them, and they look good too.
