any suggestion or comment on these valve covers?

willing to get one if it is good

I want one but think it sucks how it says "VTEC"

LS is Non-VTEC so unless they makes one without lettering / with Non-VTEC letters I think I'll have to pass on these and paint my stock one.

 

[JSkyline]

yeah. i think that's kind of stupid too. LS VTEC, it make sense unless u hv a ls/vtec. eng. but it is just not right for a ls. one more thing. is it hard to paint the valve cover we curretly have?? i had considered that too. but just afraid of it turn out bad. and where i can order the valve gasket?

Looks pretty ghetto... I don't know what's up with the timing belt area, but it looks wierd. There's no fancy spark plug wire cover like the stock B18C cover has, or even provisions for one. And what's up with the black circle at the end of "DOHC"? Is that supposed to be the PCV valve hole!?

OBX is well known for a severe lack of quality, so even if this valve cover looked good, I wouldn't suggest getting it. A little known fact is that the valve cover contains an "oil seperator", which prevents oil from going out through the PCV valve and into the intake manifold (not good in many ways). I don't think I'd trust an OBX knock-off to do that job.

My friend sells them on eBay and knows they're junk. But there are enough stupid people out there, that he makes good money selling only OBX products. I would stay away from these valve covers if I were you.

What's wrong w/the stock one?

 

[LSturbointeg]

just get your valve cover powder coated...

Is it just me, or does it look like really thin soda can material? The one in the photo already looks warped.

Imagine they couldn't even find a decent one to take a picture of? imagine what it'll look like when it comes to your door.

In my opinion id stay away from anything OBX. Fitment and quality sucks.

 

[chingro]

no MATTER what, that valve cover IS GARBAGE.

why have the lettering if you DoNT HAVE VTEC??

even if you have an LS/VTEC you will not have a LS head, so therefore that valve cover will not fit.



IT WILL ALSO CREATE SERIOUS PROBLEMS!!!!
People would buy one and put on a LS motor, and sell the motor as a VTEC engine.

later

Or you could always polish your valve cover. I think it looks good. Here's pix of mine...

I think Cam'ron would love the pink one if he had a teg.
