The plastic covers do warp; mine is. I'm getting the billet ones this time.

Ethic, How could you possibly turn down an opportunity to spend 5-6-10K instead of 1 K? We may have to look into having your membership revoked! It's just diametrically opposed to everything we believe in!!

I used the billet valve covers from Protomotive and they were less than $500.
