This is where in my opinion o rings are an absolute no brainer. I first went with o rings about 15 years ago and never looked back. I have the process down now fairly well and have done a few sets for myself and other folks. My first set was done on my manual Bridgeport with a rotary table - that was not fun. Pull the valve cover on and off at will and don't worry about leaks.

That hemi is beyond cool. How many fasteners per cover and how thick is the lexan?

O rings FTW! I dont really get the appeal of the lexan covers but to each his own. Also dont see how a two piece covers helps in adjusting valves,sure dot look like enough room to me to gain access.
