    Finishes

    These valve covers are not available in a polished finish. Please see our Machined Cadillac Script Valve Covers for a polish finish.

    These valve covers are sand castings. So they have the texture of sand. This texture usually is visible through the powder coat or paint, similar to an orange peel look and feel.

    Read here for more information about finishes and construction of PML parts.

    PML sells cork composite gaskets for these valve covers which can be ordered over the phone.
