I need to get a new tappet cover for my VE-pumped truck, what are the best options?

Seems like there are a lot of different versions of the same thing out there.

etc.

Thanks.

Not billet, but I just picked one up from savagefabrication, have yet to install it, waiting to start the ppump swap. Heard good reviews and he sells out of them quick.

^^ Wish I would have saw that when mine was off for a leak... I guess it's not that hard to take off.
