Does anyone know of manufacturer of 2V valve/cam covers besides BBK and Bullitman/Team Breed?

I like the look of BBKs covers a bit better than the Bullitmans but don’t care for the BBK logo. The Bullitman dirver's side cover be personalized or left blank. Is there an alternative, another manufacturer with clean looking, logo-less covers?

out of the two you have listed, the team breed valve covers are the nicest. i have them and havent had a single problem since they have been installed. however boosted98GT has the bbk valve covers and they have leaked since the day they were installed. the team breed covers are very high quality, although there is another opion. VT has a set of 2v sheet-metal valve covers that have just been released. check out their website for more info. www.vtengines.com

Thanks for the info. I have heard only good things about the Team Breed covers, especially in regards to sealing tight, which is an important consideration.

I saw VT logo’d Team Breed covers on VT’s site but couldn’t find the sheet metal versions.

in the online store at VT go to accessories, then to valve covers. they're the last ones on the bottom of the page.

Thanks for the references. It looks like Fox Lake uses the Team Breed/ Bullittman covers as well. I think that is the direction I will go.

I was thinking about getting my stock ones powdercoated, anyone else done this and have some pics? If someone has some stock ones they have replaced and are looking to get rid of let me know, it would be easier to get some painted and installed versus taking mine off and waiting to get them back.

I don’t believe the stock 2V covers can be powder coated, since they are non metallic. Powder is electro-statically applied so the parts need to conduct electricity. They can be liquid painted.

you can't powder coat the stock ones, since they are plastic, they will melt during the proces....I bought the bbk ones, which were already powdercoated, had them stripped, and re powdercoated:
