    Valve covers

    I have an 01 5.3 (with pcv)

    I want to sand/polish a set of covers, so they are ready when my bolt-ons finally get in truck. Anyone have a set laying around they want to sell? Would prefer WITH the grommets.

    (if anyone has tried this and failed....please let me know...I THINK I should be able to do it...they ARE aluminum)

    I have at least one set Im sure. Not sure if I have the bolts, grommets, and gaskets though.

    I had a set that I believe had been powder coated, but may have been sanded then painted. I painted over that but havent installed them yet

    Not sure what theyre worth, but you can PM me and we can discuss

    Dont have any for sale, but mine turned out decent. I did not sand them.

    I wasn't trying to spend more then maybe 30 bucks...especially since the coils cover them up, and I'm too lazy to relocate them lol.


    Harbor freight is cheapest place for table grinder.... or you can buy a drill attachment at any auto store.

    I just sanded mine down and used aluminum colored paint on them and they turned out good.
