Box of Carbon fiber valve covers
 
I ordered a set of carbon fibers from the lateral-g sponsor and he was kind enough to have his vendor drop ship them directly to me.

The UPS trucks arrives today with a 4ft x 4ft box filled with valve covers.
I immediatley called John, letting him know that I had about six sets of covers.


Crazy huh?

Did John have Carbon Components ? I have a Carbon Components cover on the Red Witch that has gone bad and I need to replace it.

I don't think that will happen with these covers but if it does I am sure they will warranty them.
I know John was a little worried, some guy 4,000 miles away had $2000 worth of valve covers and biillet coil brackets. :faint:


I pulled a set of the BBC covers out of the box to see what they looked like. To say they were awesome would be an understatment.
Pictures could never do these justice.

Yes Charlie they are Carbon Components covers they do not have logos on them anymore it might be hard to match yours. Whats wrong with the one that went bad?

Jon,

It bubbled along the flange edge and a little bit on the top, almost like a heat issue. The other cover is perfect and there's no heat near where the problem happened. Seems like a resin/catalyst issue.

Charley has some pics.

I don't have the pics, Scott does. Weird, the other cover is fine.

pushrod243 07-01-2007 02:30 PM

I'll get with Dave and let you guys know...
