BBC Valve Cover Bolt & Spreader Tab Kit, 14pc Polished 304 Stainless Steel Hardware for Big Block Chevy 396 427 454 502 (1965–1987), 1/4"-20 Hex Head Bolts

Stop Leaks and Shine Up Your Engine Bay with Premium Stainless Steel Precision.Are you tired of constant oil leaks ruining your clean engine? Or perhaps you are frustrated with "chrome" bolts that rust after a few months? The [Brand Name] Valve Cover Bolt and Spreader Tab Kit is the ultimate solution for Big Block Chevy enthusiasts who demand both function and form.Why Choose Our Kit? Standard valve cover bolts often pinch the valve cover at the bolt hole, causing the metal to bend and the gasket to leak in between the bolts. Our kit includes dedicated Mini Spreader Tabs. These tabs increase the surface area of the clamping force, distributing pressure evenly across the gasket flange. The result? A tighter seal and a leak-free engine.Superior Material Quality We don't cut corners with cheap plating. This entire kit is crafted from 304 Stainless Steel and treated with an electropolished finish. It captures the classic "Chrome" look to match your engine accessories but provides the industrial-strength durability of stainless steel. It will not rust, peel, or corrode, keeping your BBC looking pristine for years to come.Technical Specifications: Fitment: Big Block Chevy (BBC) 1965-1987 (396, 402, 427, 454, 502).
