Here are some more information for Chrome Valve Covers:
When buying an GM second-generation FBody car, from 1970 - 1981 there are a few items to look at for authenticity, general condition and things to be expected. This guide is meant to help a buyer identify the right car for them, not to over-pay and to help spot common problems which might assist in the decision making process. This is not a guide to buying a fully restored car or collector item.
Many Camaro and Firebirds on the used market are heavily modified and often are made to look like a higher model then they actually are: plain Camaro dressed up like an RS, or Z28 or a Firebird with Trans Am or Formula parts. First look at the VIN of the car, and find an online decoder, that will tell you the model regardless of how the car looks. Do not buy car based on an owner story or that it looks like a specific or rare model. Engine size can also be determined by the VIN. This will only indicate the engine originally installed in the car, not necessarily what is in the car now.
A few quick points, big block Chevy engines have the small water host that connects the intake manifold to the water pump, small blocks do not. The physical size of the valve covers is noticeably different. The engine stamped ID on the front of the block can be decoded to show the CID. Pontiac blocks, on the side of the block in front of the drivers side motor mount is the CID. This number is actually cast into the block, such as 350, 400, 455. Oldsmobile motors in the Trans Ams and Firebirds have an oil fill pipe directly in the front part of the intake manifold. This is at least 6-8 inches tall. This is easy to spot.
Common engine oversites or miss-understandings. Later 70's cars had smaller engines to comply with emissions requirements, an FBody car with a large motor in the late seventies stock is not very common. These are mostly found in the Firebird and Trans Am, with the Olds 403 delivered and sold in California, and the Pontiac 400 sold out of state. For engines that have been swapped, be sure emissions equipment is still on the engine if that is required in your state or region. Educate yourself on the model and year you are looking at to be sure when you see an actual car for sale, you can spot a fake or possible someone trying to be deceiving.
Rust in these cars is common in a few places, look in these areas and if the rust is acceptable to you, then you know that much more. Under the trunk lid, near the hinges water will pool up and rust. The bottom of the doors, where water/salt and snow are kicked up from the tires is a common rust area. Behind the rear tires, again water, salt and snow. Under the rear window chrome trim, at the very bottom, look here or pear under the chrome. If water has gotten in the car, it will smell and the lowest point is behind the driver and passenger seats, water will puddle up and rust.
Sagging doors is a common problem and should be expected as well as broken door handles. These are normal and need to be addressed by all owners. Worn window felt on the window guides will cause the door glass to have vertical scratches in it, also common and to be expected.
Hacked up wiring harness. For some reason either radio installs, poorly placed speakers under the dash, or some equipment removed from the engine compartment will leave the harness in bad shape. Just be aware of this and ensure all key systems are functioning when you inspect the car. Things such as lights, wipers, horn, turn-signals, etc.
Obvious items for concern or that will make you look closer are drivetrain items usually. Again, know the model information is key to making a good buying decision. Some things to look for: HEI ignitions in the wrong year cars, 4 speed cars that are now automatics, non-posi rear-end in a Trans Am, miss-matched decals on a Camaro or Firebird for the year of the car. Interior parts or styles that are not correct for the year. These can all be indicators of a non-original car, valuable original parts missing, accident damage, fire or someone trying to make the car something it isn't.
Hopefully these tips have been help and there is much more FBody car information, with correct pictures and details at: http://www.fbodygallery.com.
Volkswagen Golf Blown Idol
HISTORY
Few who attended Volkswagen's stand at the 1975 Frankfurt Motor Show would have any inkling of the significance that the Golf Sport study would eventually have. Sold in Germany as the GTI in 1976, Volkswagen UK began importing it in left hand drive guise in 1977. It was still a very basic car, with metal bumpers and an interior that was extremely stark. Volkswagen's idea of a refinement was a push button radio with one speaker. Nobody really caught on to the genius behind the car until 1979 when right hand drive versions became available.
Fast forward a quarter of a century and we have a very different proposition. 112bhp has swelled to 197bhp and, even more tellingly, weight has gone up enormously. It's illuminating to look at how the power- to-weight ratios have altered across the generations with the MkV managing 150bhp per ton, compared with 110bhp per ton for the MkIV and 133bhp per ton for the final 1.8-litre version of the MKI GTI. The fact that the MkV is the quickest and most able GTI to date underscores the public perception that Volkswagen had once again got serious about making the GTI the car the rest had to beat. The Golf Estate showed up in the summer of 2007. The MkVI Golf, basically an updated version of the MkV, arrived in 2009.
WHAT YOU GET
The MkV GTI offers a real premium car look and feel, not surprising when you consider the cost from new. Volkswagen created a rather tantalising website that showed what colours and options you can choose for your GTI and when I'd finished specifying my rather natty example, the bill at the end came to over £25,000. That's some serious money but at least the GTI can back that up with a class-leading chassis and an engine that really delivers the performance goods. A full-length honeycomb grille, 17-inch alloy wheels, a roof spoiler and GTI badging differentiate this car from its humbler brethren. The black grille surround also looks less like an oversized Honda badge than the metallic finishes worn by other Golfs.
The interior kept the Golf at the top of the family hatch tree. It uses a fascia design reminiscent of the Phaeton luxury saloon although the centre console is lifted from the Touran mini-MPV. With the possible exception of its pricier Volkswagen Group cousin, the Audi A3, the cabin has the beating of any hatchback out there as regards ambience. The interior features soft-feel slush-moulded plastics, subtle use of chrome, fabric-covered A-pillars plus blue instrument backlighting with red needles, a signature of the fourth generation model. Some of the lower dash plastics and minor switches feel a little cheap but when balanced against the huge improvements in interior space, it's not too big a price to pay. The MKV Golf also set new standards by introducing 2Zone climate control and four-way lumbar support within the line-up. In addition, ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Programme), no fewer than six airbags as well as anti-lock brakes are fitted as standard. Big car features such as automatic activation of headlamps and wipers are built into the car's electronics.
WHAT YOU PAY
The £500 difference from new between three-door and five-door GTI models has now been largely absorbed by the used markets so both three and five-door variants cost much the same. Opening price for a typically average mileage GTI on a 54 plate is around £15,000 with some higher mileage cars (not uncommon for a model that has been popular with fleet car user/choosers) coming in at just over £14,000. Insurance for the GTI doesn't come cheap, the car being rated at Group 17.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Only one real issue has yet arisen and that's an oil pump bolt fault on early GTIs that has now been fixed under recall. Other than that, there's little to report. Keep a look out for cars that have been flogged by corporate users and ensure that servicing has been attended to diligently. Otherwise the MkV GTI has a strong reputation for reliability. If the car has been equipped with the optional DSG paddle-shift gearchange, check that all ratios engage smoothly and cleanly, especially reverse. DSG problems are a very costly fix.
Corrosion is rare on a Golf, which speaks volumes for Volkswagen's rustproofing methods and the quality of the steel it uses. A GTI with rust should scream "badly repaired accident damage" at you. Steer well clear, as a warped chassis will likely have caused misaligned panels and the subsequent corrosion. As strong as the Golf's allure is, it's also worth checking out related Skoda Octavia and SEAT Leon models which may offer better value for a given budget. Don't stretch to a tired GTI over these cars as they're also very talented.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
(approx based on a 2004 Golf 2.0TFSI GTI ex Vat) A clutch assembly will be around £145 and an alternator should be close to £195. Brake pads front and rear are about £65 and £55 respectively.
ON THE ROAD
The sole powerplant on offer is no asthmatic wheezer. The engine powering the GTI is a turbocharged version of VW's 2.0-litre FSI petrol engine, fettled to produce a hefty 200PS - around 197bhp in old money. Drive is directed to the front wheels in classic GTI style, and there's a six-speed manual as standard or the excellent DSG twin-clutch transmission available as an option.
Owners can expect to accomplish the sprint to 60mph in around 6.5 seconds in a DSG-equipped car and look forward to a top speed that knocks on the door of 150mph. A combined fuel economy figure of around 36mpg means that the Golf won't cost a fortune to run either. It's not noticeably cheap to buy used, however, although residuals look set to remain healthy for the foreseeable future.
The DSG ‘box is a real piece of work. First seen in the Audi TT 3.2 V6 coupe, it's based around a sequential manual transmission but utilises an ingenious twin clutch system to ensure creamy smoothness. Engage first gear and the gearbox will pre-engage second gear in advance, the second clutch engaging as soon as you flick up to slot instantly into second gear. This means a seamless flow of power. The electronics predict what gear you're about to engage, depending on whether you're accelerating or braking and the result is astonishing, making every other gearbox feel distinctly clunky. The other option is to slip it into ‘D' and drive it like a normal automatic. Even in this mode it's butter smooth and makes other attempts at sequential manual systems such as Ferrari's F1 and BMW's SMG appear decidedly yester-tech.
The GTI's engine is special too. Fuel Stratified Injection is a system that promises the twin benefits of more power and better economy. A high-pressure fuel line mounted on the side of the cylinder head, often dubbed the ‘common rail', injects fuel straight into the combustion chamber. The shape of the pistons and the clever working of a set of valves make the air ‘tumble', thus creating more efficient combustion.
One criticism levelled at the two previous generation Golfs was that although the cars offered a ride and refinement package that was hard to beat, they never really offered the sort of infectious handling that many rivals could boast. The fifth generation car adopts a pragmatic tactic in ‘benchmarking' the suspension of the Ford Focus - and it works a treat. The body is eighty per cent stiffer than its predecessor and the electro-mechanical steering feel and composed body control are leagues ahead. As a result, Volkswagen have been able to build a hot hatch version that enthusiasts will again want to drive. Once again, with the MKV Golf, Wolfsburg could claim to make the definitive GTI.
OVERALL
Used prices have remained firmer than a Tory home secretary although there won't be many GTI owners who have regretted their purchase. There's not too far you can go wrong as long as you track down a well looked after car. I'll have a three-door with DSG. In white please.

396 Chevy in '08 Mercedes SL?
I think it would be really funny if someone put a carbed 396 Chevy and th400 from a scrapyard in a 2008 Mercedes SL convertible, but don't change anything else. Then go to car shows and people would be like WTF! You open the hood on a $100,000 new German car and there's a carbed 60's chevy big block with a cheap air cleaner, chrome valve covers, rusty headers, and dried grease everywhere. They just wouldn't know what to say.
It would be really funny to pull into a Mercedes dealer service garage and act like you need to get something fixed. The mechanics would probably stair at the car in complete confusion as it creates a primitive and loud rumble resonating around the shop. Then they'd open the hood and be like "OK then...why the F would you do this."
Does anyone else think this would be funny? Don't say "no, that would be horrible!" Of course it would but that's why it's hilarious!
AHAHAHA its funny how you explained it and yea i guess it would be funny
My 2 Cents: Favorite cars proves to be readers’ favorite question
From The Ashland Gazette I once asked for suggestions on questions some of our readers would like to see. A male responded that he’d like to see a question about your favorite car. He told me we’d get a lot of answers. It appears he was right.
