Finishes: Read about finishes and construction of PML parts.

These are standard perimeter mount covers for pre-1986 small block Chevrolet® engines. The oval pad and fins are cast into the cover and are raised. On powder coated parts, the powder coat is shaved off the top of the fins. These covers feature a mid-height design that will clear most roller and/or ratio rockers.

These covers are designed to accomodate the script Ford logo (which must be purchased separately), but you can use the pad for your own logo or other design. Engines get hot so be sure to use a logo and adhensive that will withstand the heat.

These covers feature a mid-height design that will clear most roller and/or ratio rockers. Please check dimensions in above link to verify clearance for your particular configuration. As noted in the dimensions, the fins add to the overall outside height of the cover.

Optional PCV, Breather and Oil Fill Holes

PML makes these valve covers without holes. If needed, the covers can be machined for PCV, breather, or oil fill on the intake manifold side. PML can machine holes for $40 per hole.

Please read this PDF file on oil fill, breather and PCV set-up.

If you want valve covers with holes, please call to order.

Our thanks to Braun's Automotive in Lomita, CA for working with us. Contact Braun's at (310) 325-4303 or see www.braunsautomotive.com.

PML Small Block Chevy valve covers can work with Edelbrock Performer RPM kits. However, the baffle on the PML valve covers will hit the pins unless the baffle is reduced in size. PML can machine the baffle to reduce the size if needed. For the Performer RPM, the distance between the pins is 1.16 inches. Out of the box our baffle is 1.2 inches. Call or email us if you need information.

The cylinder head is number 6089. The PML valve cover shown is our 25th anniversary edition but the same information applies to all PML small block chevy perimeter mount valve covers.
