Default Revised design

We've revised the design of our PV covers to fit Superior cylinders as well with extra height and clearance for the valve spring retainers.

The first batch of these are machining today.

Default Gen 2 PV Valve Covers



We have these in hand now. Managed to keep the bare weight around 150 grams.

Will be taking some to anodize early next week. If anyone wants to place an order, let us know your color preference. We currently do gold, red, clear and black.

For those who've ordered VCs, they are down at the anodizers now, hope to have back mid next week.

Have the VCs in hand now and will be contacting the folks who ordered sets tomorrow.


Did some in blue at the request of one customer

Took another batch in to anodize as I picked these up.

Material didn't ship on time and was 10 days late arriving. We have it now and will start running another batch of valve covers on Monday. We only have 4 gold ones left in stock from the previous run if someone wants gold.

Default In for angle-valve covers

I would like to be on the list for a set of 4 covers for an angle valve when they become available. I have an IO-360-A1B6 in my -8.
Thanks,
Andy Elliott

These have been scheduled for production for about 2 weeks now but other parts for EFI kits have priority and we've been super busy on that front. I talked to Trevor today and he hopes to get these on one mill for a long run time while he runs smaller EFI parts on the second mill requiring shorter run times.

I'll let you know when we have them in hand. Thank you.

Default New PV VC Run

Howard finished a new run of PV covers this afternoon and I'll pick them up on Thursday. Some will be going to anodizing early next week and I'll be running red, gold and clear at that time for shelf stock. Anyone wanting to order, this would be a good time so we can get more parts anodized at the same time which cuts the lead times.

We've got lots of valve covers in stock. Red, gold and clear anodized on the shelf plus unfinished if you want other colors.

If you're tired of leaky stock covers and bolts coming loose, fix it for good with these, lose some weight and improve the aesthetics at the same time.
