Anybody purchased AMD valve covers??

[Chargerjase]

Specifically I'm looking at buying a set of 70 big block valve covers. The AMD ones look nice, but I wonder if anybody has used them. What are they like for quality and fitment? Opinions please.

set I bought for a 67 gtx 440 stunk. couldn't stop leaks, shoulder area around bolt holes inconsistent and often not enough. Nice chrome, perfect for the shelf.

Post a WTB for a used set, blast, straighten and paint. You'll be glad you did...

Bought a set for my 71 BB. Also had issues with leaking around bolt holes. Took several tries before they sealed. Never happy with fit. Eventually found a used original set, removed dents, added missing wire bundle clips. They work fine no leaks no drama. Cork gaskets.
AMD set make great wall hangers.

Excellent feedback, thanks for the info guys. I will post a WTB ad for a good used set.

I bought a set for my BB last year. Excellent looking repops. No issue leaking. I'm using Cometic gaskets and using the factory style studs. I still have my OE 69 covers.

Bad quality, two different colors, notice the bottom picture with the mounting hole protruding inside. These are for a 69 Charger.

Thanks for the feedback. The good news is that I found a really nice set of originals from a member here. I always try to find original parts over repops, but as we all know it's not always that easy.
