I know if it's too good to be true, then it probally is......... Saw these fabricated valve covers & seemed a good price.

Anyone have any experience with them, good or bad

Made in China, the price might be great, but the quality? Makes you wonder......

Talk with Tim at FHO
He was getting some fabbed ones from Australia.
I haven't seen them yet but they are supposed to be affordable quality pieces.

Most likely made by pro comp if there made in Australia.I have a set of pro comp wedge valve covers and the fit is good and no leaks.

Nick,you say they leak like a dyke how does a dyke leak ??Have you tried these covers?Scott,do you know for sure these are made in Japan,,,,or any where overseas??These are the covers I would love to have but they are wanted,,,,,,not needed,so they're pretty far down the "TO_DO"list

So your assumption is based on the price as to where they are made?
