Does anybody make aluminum Valve covers for the VQ37VHR? Not really looking for CNCed billet, or fabricated sheet metal covers. Just some nice die cast alloy covers like I see

Aluminum Valve Covers???
Does anybody make aluminum Valve covers for the VQ37VHR?
Not really looking for CNCed billet, or fabricated sheet metal covers. Just some nice die cast alloy covers like I see is available for the vq35de. |

The VQ37 doesn’t have the same valve cover leaking issues like the plastic covers on the VQ35DE motors, so like Spooler said the OEM plastics are fine

Have two motors with leaking driver side covers.
Searched up seals and saw the DE ones. But if there are no "upgraded" covers available or necessary, I'll just replace the seals. Thanks for the input guys |

Yeah, they are super nice!
But $1700 is a little steep for my street sleeper. Not to mention the lead time on a hand fabbed part(s) like that. I was thinking mote like die cast "oem" style covers. |

I did buy the flywheel hold down tool from them through FB Marketplace.
Shipped it to me with a quickness. No issues. But yeah, I'm not gonna spend that kinda money on valve covers. Unless maybe I had some big ol' cams that needed some crazy clearance |
