Default What valve covers?

What valve covers do people use when they install the new springs for the superram camshaft(74219)? My mechanic tried to grind down my stock valve covers but now the valve cover is leaking oil. What to do? :skep:

I hope their valve covers are better than their rocker arms. Sorry-azzed pieces of crap didn't last 5,000 miles. I'm afraid that's one company that's gotten their last dollar from me.

I finally got to installing ProForm black crinkle valve covers on my '87. Unfortunately, I seem to have gotten a bad casting because the material gave way on one of the centerbolts even though my torque wrench was only set to 100 lb-in. (the spec is 80-120).

Summit is sending me a replacement, but what a pain...
