World's Best Looking S14 SR20DET Valve cover **PICS**

[TurboFC3C]

I bought this S14 SR20DET valve cover a few years ago, and began a search to find the best chrome guy in Houston, TX. After dropping off a few pieces of metal to a few platers, I found the best guy and had him chrome dip a few parts including this SR valve cover, but before doing so, I had a welder weld on some AN bungs for use with a catch can I would later install. I also set forth to find a Tomei spark plug/ coil pack cover to also dip to make it all match. I bought it new from FRSport for $120 and then had it all dipped three times for the most perfect shine.

I never did install it on my motor, and it has been sitting for the better part of 4 years in a box that has been sitting in storage. There are ZERO scratches on it, and in my opinion, is the best looking S14 SR valve cover I've ever seen. It is not polished, it is not rattle canned, and it is not powdercoated. I paid damned good money to have this valve cover perfect and invested over $500 to get it to way it looks now.

I am asking $300 shipped or best offer. Hopefully someone out there appreciates a good chrome job as much as I do as I feel the valve cover is the centerpiece of an engine bay, and is what catches most people's eyes first. If you are looking for that wow factor in your bay, this is most definitely it.

Valve cover will include the crappy oil cap and Tomei spark plug cover but not the AN fittings you see in the photos.

[JDS Performance]

Whats so special about it - its been chrome dipped - this has been going on for along time - mainly with rims - is it chrome on the inside too - if so chrome cracks and starts to peel off = real bad inside a motor!!!

[koukimuncher]

^party pooper

[koukimuncher]

But what is said is true

[JDS Performance]

Im not saying its not worth $300 - new VC $200 chrome dip is $110... - just not good to do it on the inside...

The chrome job cost me $250 because I was interested in quality first. There are differences in chrome jobs. The valve cover is not chrome underneath. The idea here is that the SR valve covers that are chrome dipped look very odd with the OEM plastic spark plug covers. Most will either paint it or delete it altogether. I chose to select the Tomei cover and dip that in chrome as well to give the valve cover a solid, uniformed block look. I actually found out that there are two versions of the Tomei cover as one had rubber feet where it attatched to the valve cover and a new version that had metal feet. The one in the photos is the newer version.

It's a little overboard, but the results speak for themselves. If you're looking for just a shiny valve cover, I'd say just polish it and be done, but if you want to make people drop panties the moment you open your hood, you too may take it a little farther like me.

Either way, it's personal preference.

[Flicktitty]

Looks good, Props for doing it right and having it tapped for AN Fittings.

[stacksondeck]

You said "not polished" all condescending.. :-/

That's before polishing it. All hand shaved, sanded and welded..

Chrome looks good though. A lot less work to keep shiny compared to polished, that's for sure.

I think the price is on point. GLWS!

[brndck]

Ok JUST the Tomei coil pack cover is $100+, JUST buying an s14 valve cover can run $100+, JUST buying a/n fittings and welding em in can run $50-75, not even counting the cost of the chrome, so I'd say this is a damn good deal.

[stacksondeck]

Might want to ad what size the fittings are. Looks like -10's.
