Can I get some feedback on these? I am using bale valve covers right now and thinking about going to the bolt-on EMPI's. Does it mess up your rockers, should I just go with the bales? Any help appriciated...

I put a set of CB Performance bolt ons on my motor. Love them. Absolutely no leaking! No problems at all.

Years ago, I heard that they would loosen up and you'd start losing a little oil. But I've never used them myself. But I'm of the opinion that there's no better way to learn than to find out for yourself. They're not that expensive, so why not get a set and let us know.

I'd make sure the rocker studs were Loctited into the heads and then I'd use nylock nuts just to be safe.

I'm a fan of bails and stock covers my self, Pretty hard to beat.
