cam cover g/b thread

[dohcfiend]

well i had a brief chance to talk to jason today and if i can get the time really sit down with him this weekend.

as all of u know this will not be cheap. he quoted me that the aluminum itself will be about 60 each set.

as u know these will be machined as a single piece out of a large block. so it will definately be sweet. no welds in making the exterior.

1st area of concern that i must adress. on your stockers there are these plastic tabs inside the cam covers that allow it to mesh with the front cover. he says it will be ungodly expensive to make these into the final products.

but if you want them or do not want them lmk and i will have your quote adjusted accordingly. personally, for mine i will just have some1 else weld a tab in. if any of yoiu guys want to do them same, i can either send it to you and you guys can find a welder or let me find some1 local to do it. just a fair warning i do not know of any good welders of hand, so I MAY EVEN WAIT FOR ONE OF YOU GUYS TO DIG UP A COMPETENT ALUMINUM WELDER.

next issue there is a little hump inside the cam cover, why it is there. don't know. as above the lathe work to retain that will be high. i am not retaining mine. post up and lmk your thoughts and preferences on the subjects.

this issue was semi addressed on the rear cam cover there is also a little hump on the top of it. want it yay or nay. as i said be4 extra lathe work to retain it but not as high as going inside it.

another issue lightly touched on. on the front cam cover is on the front cam cover there is this area in there that looks like it holds a wire loom or spark plug wires etc..

i think on the earlier models be4 the coilpacks were relocated there is actually another square piece that covers this area up. what are your thoughts on this want it yay or nay. i don't really have a clue on cost yet. after we speak in length and in person. we will cover everything.

i need ALL of your inputs on the following and after i get everything hammered out(what every1 wants/doesn't want etc), i will have the official quotes.

talked to the guy working on the covers today. got everything straight. tabs will be in the final product, inside lip will be as well as the top hump.

only thing that is optional now is that tab on the front valve cover.

SO BASICALLY DISREGARD EVERYTHING ABOVE and just post up saying whether or not u want the tab and i will have a price adjusted accordingly.

all i have to do now is let the guy working on them talk to the boss and just get in touch with them and get the quote. as be4 they are 6061 t6. i seen the stock myself. they already have enough for 2-3 sets in stock already.

u know who's will be 1st . other than that, other news is i am talking to another person about having them cast and probably go with the cheaper of the 2.

Yes I'm interested! I don't think that the front tab would be all that big a deal and I can probably do without it. Please keep us posted as to what the price will be.

Thanks

The only problem is that I have two front cam covers on my engine, so again, I'd need something custom... only one would work right. I'm still listening, but Im thinking my already modified pair of front covers are going to be the answer, though I still havn't figured out how I'm going to mount it. Using two front aluminum covers isn't out of the question, but one would need a lot of work, and there would be no way to mount it.

I havn't seen the motor in a long time. I don't remember exactly how bad the mounting issues were.

[dohcfiend]

making 2 front ones is np if that is your fancy. that is what makes them custom .

but the guy can make 2 fronts for the same price, just 1 or if u need something else, shoot me a pm and we can discuss it.

ok i have an official quote. higher than even i expected. here is the official quote.

for a set of 2: 2-3 peeps $400, for 3-6 peeps $340. if you change your minds that is fine. i will still get mine but it will take me a while to come up the money myself.

really all i am looking for as of now is either a yay or nay if you still want them to let me know where i stand on the order as a whole. i am not collecting money or anything for a while i believe.

also 1 can be made for $170 i guess if some1 just wants one.

[Sourmug]

Wow, that's pricey. Hmm, I'll have to think about it. I'll let you know in a bit.

I'll go for the front one. Since the rear one is buried under coils.
