Default Thinking about buying these.

Has anyone bought these? Mine look horrible, and in the back it looks like oil is slowly leaking out. So figured I would change out my valve cover gasket's, and get some new valve covers to boot. I think they look pretty cool, they come black like that, or you can get chrome. I like the black personally.

Those look similar to Silver Dodge's valve covers.

Yup, those are the ones I have. Here's my gallery if you want to see pics:

One thing I recommend to you if you get these covers is to get new baffles. The ones Mopar sends with those covers don't do the job, and you'll have oil leaks out the grommets. APS Precision makes baffles specifically designed to prevent this problem. I switched to them, and it worked as advertised. I highly recommend them (or make your own).

Good advice Silver, I will have to pick those up when I make the purchase.

And those look good on that engine Silver.

Hey Silver, did you have to do anything special to make the Mopar air cleaner fit?

Here's my thread on it. It's an oldie, so the pics are gone (the forum upgraded software that stripped out all the pics), but all the info is still there.
