C2 Valve Covers

Re: C2 Valve Covers flaw

Patrick, I have heard your story before about a mixture of the valve covers. In fact a few years ago an owner of an original '66 sent me a pair of valve covers and I saw they were mixed and that started a few emails back and forth for sure. He swore they were never off the car. But as you said the defect was ever so slight-going thru the O'. The March date is approximate as most of our dates are. I imagine they had quite an inventory of valve covers that had no flaws and didn't pay attention to that detail at all. John

Re: C2 Valve Covers flaw

Thanks to everyone who has assisted in my education. I spent a few hours this weekend with the simple green and hot water, also tried some wheel cleaner with a nylon brush. They are not nearly as good as I want them to be, but the casting flaw is minimal, soI will keep working on them, while I look for a set of no flaw covers.
From the information posted these are late 66 production, actually installed on a car. Also as an early post suggested mine are probably over the counter parts. My original covers are probably on some top flight car and a previous owner had some beer money.

Thanks again,

George
