Yeah they were stock head bolts back then 16 Degs and 50PSI out of a HX40...it held just fine!!

Question for the guys with the 24 valve Cummins covers... Where did you buy your valve covers from and how much did you pay for them?

 

[not enoughsmoke]

whats the demple or caps for on the valve covers? looks like where the head studds are to long where they didnt machie the rocker perches. :bang

 

[Mudn_1]

yeah, about 1 bill at cummins and you will get a bare aluminum one

 

[LKuilder]

Thanks on the valve cover answers. I've seen them in genos garage and figured they were off of the motors in other trucks besides the Dodges. So I figured Cummins carried them just not sure if anyone else carried them. Got a GREAT place here in Nashville for powder coating so that's no problem for me if its a bare metal piece. Like the looks of them and figured one would look good under my hood.

I got mine at Geno's........$84 or $89, I don't remember.

 

[joefarmer]

What's a ball park price on getting the valve cover and intake horn PC'd?

I traded the last guy an air filter for valve cover, intake piping, twins piping, etc. The actual powder costs less than $3. The labor getting the parts smooth and prepped is where the cost lies.

 

[dieseltracks]

That looks sweet! Not bad for a copycat.:hehe: I'm getting lots of ideas here.

Thanks Jamie........I think. :rockwoot:

I think a color match with the exterior of your truck would look good, IMO.

 

[dieseldork]

I just took mine off the truck and had it powdercoated then sanded off the powder

coating where the lettering and lines are .

2Wpuller what turbos are those?

The big charger is the bigbrother and I think the upper one is a 66 bothe from Industrial Injection

Well after asking on here and thinking it over the under hood insulation somehow fell off today...

And here's what my valve cover looks like now...

(Please don't mind that the rest of everything is a mess) I'm still thinking of throwing one of the Cummins covers on it. Just like the look of it. Wanting to get everything cleaned up and make that look good too.
