I like the looks of the BBK better. Black powdercoated, With Mineral Grey letters. every other aftermarket valve covers look WAY to much like the stock ones for me to even want them. Have read you can weld your own baffle in the BBK's ones and make them good.

Where are you stationed now OP?

I'd buy the sheetmetal Moroso ones. They look the best in my opinion. Or try to find a used set of team breed cam covers. And the are now actually considered cam covers

just FYI considering the ohc nature of our beasts.
