54 Valve Cover Screw Washers

[Eric F.]

Does anyone know if the chrome valve covers came from the factory with the football shaped washers under the screws? If so, were they chromed like the screws?

It would be so much easier if this engine came with the painted valve cover and ignition shields. I like the looks but it's difficult sometimes to track down the subtle differences from the painted engine.

Thanks in advance for your time.

They did - the screws and footballs were not chrome but are zinc plated.
IMO - Chrome valve covers are easier - I used the head bolts to lower the motor in....

Thanks Chris.

Does anyone know if the repros sold by Corvette Central will pass judging?
