ULTIMATE LEAK PROTECTION – Engineered to solve common sealing issues on stamped steel valve covers. The included 14 mini spreader tabs (load distribution bars) apply even pressure across the gasket flange, effectively stopping pesky oil leaks and preventing cover distortion better than standard bolts alone.
PREMIUM 304 STAINLESS STEEL – Unlike standard chrome-plated grade 5 steel that eventually rusts and peels, our bolts and tabs are machined from high-grade 304 Stainless Steel with an electro-polished finish. They offer the brilliant shine of chrome with superior corrosion resistance for a lasting show-car look.
PRECISION BBC FITMENT – Specifically designed compatible with Big Block Chevy (BBC) engines from 1965-1987 using perimeter bolt pattern steel valve covers. Perfect for 396, 402, 427, 454, and 502 cu.in. engines. (Note: Fits other early V8s with 1/4"-20 threads; check specs before ordering).
COMPLETE HARDWARE KIT – Includes everything needed for a complete installation: (14) 7/16" Hex Head Bolts and (14) Matching Mini Spreader Tabs. Bolt Specs: 1/4"-20 Thread x 3/4" Long shaft. The hex head design ensures easy tightening in tight engine bay spaces.
ENGINE DRESS-UP ESSENTIAL – Upgrade your engine bay aesthetic while securing your valvetrain. Whether for a restoration project, a hot rod, or a drag car, this set provides a clean, simple, and professional appearance, replacing old, stripped, or rusted hardware instantly.
Description
Stop Leaks and Shine Up Your Engine Bay with Premium Stainless Steel Precision.Are you tired of constant oil leaks ruining your clean engine? Or perhaps you are frustrated with "chrome" bolts that rust after a few months? The [Brand Name] Valve Cover Bolt and Spreader Tab Kit is the ultimate solution for Big Block Chevy enthusiasts who demand both function and form.Why Choose Our Kit?

A tighter seal and a leak-free engine.Superior Material Quality We don't cut corners with cheap plating.
