Sorry rally but there is aluminium M/T's on ebay for sale for less.
I don't understand why these are so expensive? Not looking for the oiler kind just to make my original valve covers work with roller rockers.

Crane gold roller rockers under stock BBC stamped steel valve covers with .600+ lift, trimmed the drippers down, short poly locks on the exhaust valves and an extra thick 5/16" valve cover gasket.

Got ya Lee. The motor is built and I have tried the originals last year but they wont fit. Bought a set of cheepys and used them but now one has a dent in it. The originals were painted to match the boat (open motor in a hydroplane) and would like to go back to them but I don't want to spend more on spacers then on new valve covers.

I've used the 5/16 gaskets before for clearance, worked great.
