Looking for some new valve covers for my 496. Looking at either indys with no logo, or the fabricated 440 source covers. Opinions? Pros and cons? thanks

The Indy covers themselves are good quality, but I don't like the fact they don't have a lip to hold a gasket. They sell flat paper gaskets for them. Also I don't think they come with any breather holes, check on that. I just like the lip and conventional valve cover gaskets. I have Mopar Performance valve covers on mine. I don't know about the fit and finish of the fabricated covers you asked about.

I run no logo indys on my car with the urethane gaskets from moroso. No leaks and look nice. The other thing thats nice is there is no holes so i got to put my hole where i wanted it.
When indy sends me a free set they can put their logo on them
