Some new 60V6 products

Barring any unforeseen problems, the single rollers should be finished in two to three months.

Those valve covers look sweet. Any plans for some iron head versions?

[leong6gtp]

so you decided to make valve covers that will fit the 3900 FWD application?

Those valve covers look great. What size stock are you starting with?

Also are you using MasterCAM? I love doing the engravings, really finishes a piece.

Thanks guys.

I plan to do some iron head covers at some point but decided to do FWD ones first since they have zero options. Just keep checking in as I will be sure to post some pics when we do the first batch.

My goal is for these to fit all GEN-III & GEN-IV aluminum head engines. Due to the limited space under the alternator, they will only fit the front on FWD engines. They will fit the other side of engine if the alternator is relocated. Rerouting the PVC line is required on all engines and the oil fill does not match the hole in the plastic engine cover on the newer engines.

Jon... they were made from 2 x 5 6061 bar stock. I am still using an old version of Teksoft that I purchased several years ago. Need to upgrade one of these days but never seem to have time to deal with the learning curve.

Engraving does make the part look more professional and complete. I was doing some engraving on the AFPR housings today. They are looking quite nice and should be available within a week. Still undecided on whether to anodize them or not.

any idea on final price for the single roller chain sets? and you're looking at what, late december or sometime in january for them to go on sale? My timing chain is making a lot of noise......

[CNCguy]

I am not sure of the price yet but can say that they should be quite a bit less than the DR sets. I would plan for early January to be safe. It really depends on our workload between now and then.

Update: We are close to finishing the AFPRs for those who may be interested. They will be shipping in a few days.

When will the lz cam sleeve kits be availible, and will the double roller TC setup be compatible with the lz cranks if the same machine work is done? With that being said can the lz timing cover still be utilized?

Exactly what I was thinking.

[torq455]

wow! even more stuff for our cars! man! what a year!

[CNCguy]

It takes about 8~10 minutes to polish one. I need a bigger buffer with more power and better wheels.

[gectek]

thats funny...i my car needs the same things...lol
bigger engine
more power
better wheels

[ForcedFirebird]

How do the caps attach to the stock FPR base? I'm glad you worked on them, I messed with one a while back and haven't had time recently.

8mins to polish huh? Took me about 6 hrs to polish stock valve covers with an 8" buffing wheel on a bench grinder, but they had to be sanded as well.

do you mean they will be available through the 660 store, or WOT, or TCE site? if there is a list of people that would like one, i'd be interested in it. is there a price on the AFPR's then?
