Valve cover studs? Anyone make a kit?

MykeNytemare · Oct 11, 2014

Dealing with issues and will likely be removing the valve covers many times in the upcoming months. Purchased reusable reinforced gaskets and now would like to find a kit (like I had on a Bb Chevy) for installing the threaded studs into the heads to make it a breeze to line up the gaskets and get the covers on.

Can't seem to find anything... Am I just searching wrong?

Go to Pep Boys and a kit for a sbc, you'll have a few left over, but they are cheap.

Or try this...Hit your local Hardware Store or Big Box Home Center and get some threaded rod and cut and make your own. I bought long chrome valve cover bolts and then cut to length threaded rod pices, a little thread locker and then an even torque on the bolts to hold the valve cover down tightly. Worked like a champ, no one sees the threaded rod studs you made and I kept some $$$'s in the pocket for other uses in the project...cr8crshr/Tuck

Get a name brand stud that has the allen head in the end to tighten the stud.
