Anyone have opinions on these? Searched and found a few CB threads but not on the valve covers. Worthy upgrade or no?

I had some years ago. The surface where the gasket fits is not machined and is not flat. They need to be machined on a mill so they will meet up to the flat face on the head.

The stock sheet metal covers have a flat surface for the gasket to seal to the head.

The CSP CNC Valve Covers look very nice, but $$$

I have their CNC Pushrod Tubes - very nice product.
