Re: Poly 318 valve covers?

[Gary Pavlovich <glpavlovich@xxxxxxx>]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but limiting yourself to $60 for any 
dress-up part won't get you far.

I think the parts & components added to any engine build must first satisfy 
the HP & Torque goals/requirements of the engine before adding glitz or 
"show" that doesn't make it go any faster.

The glitz or show addition, in my opinion, should be commensurate with the 
value or expense of the engine; $500 for covers added to a $5000+ engine 
would make sense to me if one could afford it.
