ImagineAuto Releases new Valve cover
For years I have been baffled of the short life the 911 valve covers have. If not the cover, certainly the seals. One wrong tweak and they will leak. To much heat and they will leak, a gouge in the cam housing and they will leak. The list of reasons why they leak is endless. A few years ago while putting my wife's 76 911S together I had an idea that actually worked. To make something old like new. The result was this....a 964 style valve cover in old 911 form. This meant that the unit used a rubber seal instead of graphite or paper. The end result- a new design that regardless of condition the seals will seal the valve cover opening. The seals also could be reused and the cost in the long run was cheaper than replacing valve covers ever so often. That design was set out on CAD then made to life.
So we are proud to announce that my wife's car no longer leaks and the introduction of the first every billet "no leak" valve cover. The kit included to lower valve covers, seals, crush washers and nuts. The valve covers are CNCed billet with a stronger cross-section for support under heat and stress. The inside of the unit is the exact size and placement of the original seal, just in rubber. The units are a direct replacement for all 911s. Correct offset of the bolt holes and height. We can also offer you a twin plug version. These valve covers will truly be the last set you buy. I have tried all the fixes, new covers, the fancy rubber gaskets that are lifetime at a cost of 60.00 a pair and so on. These are a much better solution. These we created in need by someone that owns and loves these cars. That and someone that hates leaks on their garage floor
Kit cost 295.00 complete.
Additional info...
964 versions are available.
993 versions are viable.
Twin plug pre 89 style available
Upper versions to match will be released shortly.
Dealer enquiries welcomed
If we get enough request we will anodize them in special order colors.
Please call or email with question.

Thank you.
Not available without the logo. We run them in batches so they are set with that in place. We are taking orders now for the first batch which is completing now.

Stephen,
Lovely kit you got going there. Just had my engine rebuily about 15k miles ago. Will wait for them to start leaking or might just end up getting it during my next EFI upgrade.

WOW those are really beautiful pieces. Once my new wheels arrive, I'll probably make the leap for the upgrade. I think the iA logo is a nice touch, give credit where credit is due.
Amazing it took this long for someone to solve this issue. Congrats

Stepehen - Can you comment on why the Weltmeister Silicone Valve Cover gaskets still leak, I have heard good things about them and also heard that will not require replacement, like you say they are $60 per set.

Well two reasons, when you first put them on most of the time they get over torqued. This is due to the seal pushing out of the sides and not giving a good reading with the TQ wrench. You will also find that they will not tighten evenly across the board.
The other issue is when removing to do a valve adjustment the holes usually get torn. This leaves the seal worthless.
What we did was update the entire sealing system. Porsche did with the 964 as well as the 993. We use that same theory and design but make it stronger than say that of the 964 or 993 cover from the material and structure. When the seal is cooked simply throw 12.00 at it and it is good to go again.
