Looks like you just made your own pictures? I sure would be nice to be able to buy these!

Cool 3D rendering. Would be nice to see pics and pricing for the real thing.

Total D 04-29-2016 08:31 AM

You can buy them. Rendering was done with solidworks from what I'm told.

I saw pricing was $1250 for them right now, but going to $1350 after the first run is done.

What is the purpose of billet valve covers? Looks?

Total D 04-29-2016 11:19 AM

No more having to buy covers because of seals failing, better ports for breather setups, higher interior for bigger cams, and can be powder coated.

Ive seen people powdercoat stock ones .. 1300 for valve covers? I would spend money somewhere else

And you have right to do what you want with your money. They not for everyone.

look forward to seeing the real thing. if they can have spark plug seals replaceable individually then that is a big plus! Can you confirm?

Total D 05-01-2016 07:18 PM

Correct, the spark plug seals will be replaceable. They will use Viton O-rings in its place. They are doing a group buy on them, they need 10 sets sold to make them happen. First set will be the test set, then the remaining sets will be full production run, just so they can get pricing to where they have it now. Otherwise it's like 3k just to make one set standalone.

PURE AWESOME! Got a group buy going already?

Total D 09-25-2016 07:35 PM

Just so you guys can see these are not just drawings:icon38::icon38:

Sorry about the sizing in advance lol.

Enjoy!

Wow they are gonna be beautiful. Definitely not gonna be a weight reduction mod. Planning on running an internal baffle on these for the pcv system?

dikspiel 10-11-2016 03:48 PM

Beautiful, would love to run these.

bmccann101 10-11-2016 06:40 PM

definitely would fit your build, I think it would add more depth in your engine bay.:thumbup:

samsniss350z 10-14-2016 10:11 AM

nizmo_0385 10-14-2016 10:29 AM

beauti****inful

rcdash 10-17-2016 07:27 PM

Let us know how the test unit functions... if it seals well, I'm in for a unit.

Definitely overpriced. I understand all these companies have to make money somehow. But the past 10-15 years aftermarket prices on everything has doubled, tripled, quadrupled and it isn't needed. Anything even simple differential assembly. I remember I bought a 8.8 31 spline eaton LSD for $200 new in 2005. I don't even want to price a LSD now. Billet is a great lightweight strong material, love the stuff. Wished we had more manufacturers for interior pieces like the the GM/Ford guys have.
