Cool new product - Transparent valve covers
 

Just read about a cool new product in Classic Trucks magazine. Classic Industries has transparent valve covers and thermostat housings. Kinda pricy though - $289.99 for the valve covers.

Apparently they have come up with a new material that doesn't crack or yellow.

Ive never seen these before. Interesting though.

They look cool in the photo, but what's it going to look like after the engine has run for a while?

Re: Cool new product - Transparent valve covers

It says that the oil will sheet off within 30 seconds of a full rev. So you can only see thru it at idle.

Who's going to hang off the back of the truck to watch the gears in the rear end while you are driving?

the guy in the ford you just passed..:lol:

:haha: YES!!!!

Re: Cool new product - Transparent valve covers
 

I had the different cover on my slammed dodge ram because when it was laid out the rear end stuck up into the bed. I also had a die in it that turned the oil orangeish color. It was cool but I got it for free from a sponsor. I would not have bought it otherwise.

If I got those it wouldn't stop there, I'd have to buy some purddy new roller rockers to show off. $$$$$

Now on the rear diff I could see it for people like me getting to fat to get under a truck to check the fluid level. As for the v/c and the thermostat housing it is like the new trend for clear upper hoses I just don't get it. I guess I never was cool but then again if that is the standard I don't need to be. Jim

Maybe I could see it if you were very very bad at adjusting valves and wanted to look and see what rocker was about to jump off. But if you were smart enough to look and figure that out you could figure out how to adjust the valves maybe?

Re: Cool new product - Transparent valve covers
 

To verify that you indeed blew the gearset. Without having to drop the cover at the track.

I have it on my 71 and think it's like anything else you change. It a personal taste and yes it nice to take a quick look see and say yea it OK!;)
