Now Available with New EnduraShine™ Finish
Now you can get show-quality accessories right out of the box with the custom look you want. Popular Edelbrock accessories are now available with this ultra-modern finish that far outlasts other finishes at a price that won't break your wallet. EnduraShine is a Vacuum Metalizing Process utilizing a three step process: base coat, aluminum coat, and clear top coat to enhance abrasion and chemical resistance. The result is a bright, durable, maintenance-free polished aluminum look.

Elite Series Aluminum Valve Covers
These heavy-gauge, die-cast aluminum valve covers come with a handsome, polished finish for a custom look. The raised fins are accented by a black matte background, then detailed with Allen hex heads that create a two-piece look from a one-piece construction. We have two styles, one with the Edelbrock name and one without. The "No Name" valve covers offer the distinctive look of the original Elite line, but with no Edelbrock name. Our Tall Profile Valve Covers will clear most roller rockers and valvetrain components. Our Low Profile valve covers clear all air-conditioning, alternator brackets and aluminum rockers. The number in parentheses is the dimension from the gasket flange edge to the top of the valve cover. Dimensions accurate within 1/8".
