The one good thing about the eddie marine,hardin, etc. of that style. You can take off the covers without removing the exhaust, If you would have some trouble.

The cover that I have are exactly like the Harden Marine valve covers...slanted on one side so you can remove them without taking of an exhaust manifold. The covers that I have have engraved Dereberry marine on top...screw on oil cap...thick and heavy walled aluminum.
