Carbuff2 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Last year I purchased a Re-pro set of valve covers and as I recalled the supplier also made the finned aluminum valley pan gasket and the spark plug covers to match ... can anyone let me know who has these as I have a friend that needs a set. Thanks Paul 559 431-1520 or pduran1860@comcast.net or post here. Edited January 29, 2011 by Carbuff2 Found a set of OE ... thanks to all Paul (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbuff2 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks for your response ... I located the Eelco mft.... the valve covers have eelco on them and not the BUICK logo like the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWS Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) There was a fellow named Randy Rymal who was selling these , but it has been some years back. I have heard he fell out of good graces with the Riviera boys.Your only other option I know of is TA Performance. They sell one that looks close to the original, for $199 for a set.There is a fellow also selling a set in this section, I have asked for pictures so I can see them before making a decision on whether to buy them. waiting to see on these. Saw them, and I will pass.You can also try ebay, there is a guy on there who has a lot of the Nail head dress up parts , plus many new parts. BUICKRODDER is the ebay name Edited January 20, 2011 by WWS (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobravii Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) I saw the finned valley covers on e-bayer on many occasions. Search nailhead.On another note, here is a very nice reproduction of the valve covers if anyone needs them...Old Buick Parts - CARS. Inc.

Mr Riviera Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Its a good idea to search google or whatever search engine you have to get feedback on people you might buy parts from . Just type in there name and add Buick or Riviera - Example - John Doe Buick parts - You might find some interesting stuff . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbuick Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I personally had several dealings with Randy. Both times were not good,:mad: Never again for me. Just trying to save someone else some grief. And I can speak from recent experience. Might try CARS or wait for a good O.E. set, they come up often.Good luck.
