Default Valve Covers

I recently did the pi head and intake swap and i guess my valve cover got damaged in the process, cause when i put it back together it was leaking oil. i pulled it off and found a crack in it. what i am asking is this...the only aftermarket valve covers i could find were made by BBK on jegs. they have Titanium ones and chrome ones, however the chromes are $100 more. how much better are the chromes from the titanium cause they look the same will they rust quicker or what? basically which is the better buy?

BBK are junk! Almost everyone has a leaking issue with them since they don't have the built in gasket like stock...i have the Team Breed valve covers....quality made.

i have the titanium ones on my car, they are just a different type of coating. it depends on whether you want them to have a shiney or dull look

VTengines.com makes some. Call them, because the prices on the web site are screwed up.

VT sells Team Breed Valve Covers with their name engraved.

So it seems. Or are they made by a third party vendor and sold by both? Buy the cheaper set.
