1964-80 Compatible/Replacement for AMC/Jeep 199-232-258 Straight/Inline 6 Cylinder Steel Valve Cover - Chrome

I bought this for my 1978 Jeep with an AMC 258. First thing I noticed was how nice it looked out of the box. Next thing I noticed is that it doesn't accept the factory oil cap(I bought  Mr. Gasket 9815 Oil Filler Cap Plug ). I also bought some black hex bolts from a local hardware store (zinc plated or stainless would clash with the chrome). When I installed the cover, I had to squeeze the cover to get the bolt holes to align. After installation, when I used a soft cotton cloth to clean the fingerprints, I managed to scratch the low grade chrome finish. This was easily hidden with some chrome polish.Overall, this cover was a substantial improvement over my dented, scratched, beat up stock cover. The price is right, but I think next time I will go for a higher quality cover.

The valve cover is cheaply made and of low quality. If I squeeze the bottom I can get the bolt holes to line up but the rocker arms scrape the inside of the cover. Don't waste your time, just clean and paint your stock cover because none of the after market covers I have tried will fit without rocker or valve spring clearance issues.

Awesome product especially for the price. had a hard time to keep the cover from leaking oil, but every valve cover i have seen on a 258 6cly has leaked. good quality made product!
