BD 12 Valve Cool Covers

[BryanHowell]

I'm curious if any of you guys have purchased and installed BD's new Valve Covers for the 12 valves and if you have what do you think of them? Looks like a really nice product. Thinking of putting them on our 12V race truck but they've got to be nice! Maybe if someone from BD could post some pics?

Sorry I don't have any pics since I don't have them yet:-laf but they look great and if I had the money I would buy them. Does anyone know how to tell what head studs we have? The reason is the BD site says the following: Heads with old style ARP studs, 14mm studs, A1 studs or other such head studs that the OEM valve covers will not fit require some grinding of the Cool Covers.

These covers look great. They are going to top off your dressed up motor perfectly. You can order them individually or in a set of 6 and they come with the gaskets. . We also have a new fuel pin for the rotary pumps. So we had sort of forgotten you 1st gen guys, but with Peirs back in the fold here it was time to look after you guys...

any issues with stud clearance?

any issues with stud clearance?

With the early ARP studs there can be a small clearance issue that can be taken care of with a dremmel. The new ARP studs less than 4 years old will have no issues. We had no idea that ARP had changed their studs. When making them we checked here with a truck that had ARP studs that were the new ones. Our next production run will accomidate that difference.
