AC Fabrication Billet Valve cover!

[doublespaces]

I'm told it will be made from 6061 from a solid piece of billet. When finished, will weigh less than 18 lbs from a starting block of 184 lbs.

The factory PCV system will be removed in lieu of a baffled pair of -12 orb fittings. They will include a billet oil fill cap and a pair of barb or -12 male fittings. The cover will retain a factory style gasket and hardware. They will offer anodizing in red, blue, yellow, black or green.

Group buy pricing will be in the ~$1500 range, ETA aprox 6 weeks

What about the other company thats been working on a billet valve cover?

 

[Terry@BMS]

I'm looking forward to it!

 

[Erichale77]

Looking forward to it myself. Cant wait

That's gonna be gorgeous when it's done- total artwork. Complex machine work, lots of complex cutting going on, and no doubt a bit of art like that is worth every penny. 184 lb block down to 18, wow.

Just not sure it's worth that much /to me/..... I'd darn sure love to see it on somebodies engine tho!

Wow, I talked to Anthony about this last week when I was at ACF and he's already coming out with it soon?
That was quick!

 

[Derek@MoorePerformance]

Thank God..

Oh wow

All cool but if you'll run external PCV and remove factory what's the reason having billet aluminum cover? For fun I guess since you can run your engine with cracked valve.

Definitely gonna be hard not to buy this...

To get around the insufficient factory pcv.

That's a really impressive scan job! Did you scan in house or send it out? Which scanner was used?

This is just too badass to pass up.

No more cracked valve covers

I never had a cracked valve cover in my 9 years/62K miles owning my 08 335xi. Then again, I only run 22-23 psi boost on stockers. What conditions typically cause cracked valve covers? Heat? Pressure? Both?

Ooh, that is gonna be purdy
