RE: Problems with valve covers

Not exactly what you're talking about, but a similar line of info.

I hunted around for a pair of chrome valve covers for my pair of marine 427s, and ended up with covers by Daytona. They were inexpensive and added a bit of chrome for the ladies under the hood (you know, it's like a bass lure, it's how you use it that's important, and don't just lay the hatch open and give em all a long look and let em gawk, just give em a quick peek).

I was motoring along at 3500 RPM when all of a sudden there was a horrible noise and I thought I'd dropped a valve or busted a rocker, or bent a pushrod or something. It was the internal oil shield under the breather outlet, and the cheap tack welds gave out and the darn thing was pounding on the valve adjustment nuts on top of the rockers. Sounded like a tin can had fallen into the motor, and made a terrible racket. When I opened the valve cover, it was just sitting on top of the rockers, loose. I just pulled it out, and buttoned everything back up, and all is well.
