Subject: Chrome V-8 valve covers, from th' 'Bay...comments on 
quality?

  Oops, hit return instead of Tab. Sorry! Anyway, just
got in a pair of chrome V-8 valve covers I bought off
Ebay, from www.specialtiestuff.com. They sold for $20
for the pair, plus $10 shipping. Got'em today, look
great! Made in Taiwan, anyone else have any experience
with them, or from these people? thanks,

You'll know how the chrome is if it stays put!

With Aftermarket Valve Covers - & Automatic
Deeper Trans Pans,  the pressed tin / Chrome
units don't pass heat well - which is why I
will only purchase Cast Aluminum Valve Covers
& Trans. Pans - in Unpolished - Unpainted states.

There are paints that will pass more heat than
an unpainted surface.  Kal Gard was one of
the premier suppliers of heat wicking coatings.

Polishing cast Aluminum loses surface area - 
as the roughness has more surface area to wick
away heat - more surfaces .

But Chrome is Beautiful! 

And that Age Old Adage of :

'If it don't Go - Chrome It' - still is Tru Today !
