Thx buddy!
They are currently on the motor and have only run a few times. A local guy has them on his 9 Second firebird and hasn't had a problem with leaks to date. I am hoping I get just as lucky because I really like how they look.

Also, what are the screws on the interior side (top right in the pic)...Katech mount holes?
Those hold the aluminum brackets to the interior side of the valve covers.

ps - Very few aftermarket valve covers will ever work as good as a factory valve cover no matter who is making them as most suppliers don't have the money to match the OE quality.
