Default First Set of Valve Covers (( 09-21-23 ))

So, I ordered a set of LS Valve Covers from California Company's Amazon Store. Talk about a lack of quality control and the
lack of care in how they ship. Both valve covers were wrapped in the thinnest bubble wrap and of course they shipped them in a
giant box. This allowed the valve covers to bounce around in the box and get more damage then they had previously had. Yes, they
were previously damaged and they rattle canned them before shipping. I know this because the bubble wrap had fresh black paint on them.

Right now I will be removing the beautiful Carbon Valve Covers trying to isolate the leak issue.





I was very excited when I saw Amazon drop them on my front porch.



Then I picked up the box and heard them move around in the box. Insert very sad face here.





This is one of the 5 or 6 chips in the covers.





I was just about to put them on when I noticed sand blasting media and aluminum shaving.
