I'm looking for some aftermarket valve covers for Olds 215. Someone has to be hoarding a set!

Whoa! Covers for Buick/Rover aren't interchangeable with covers for Olds 215.

Offenhauser made finned aluminum valve covers for the Olds engine. (They're Offenhauser part number 5188, whereas the part number for Buick/Rover is 5189.) IMHO, they look worlds better than Edelbrock covers too.

I have seen the Offy covers. Spendy little buggers. Just seeing if someone had something around before I buy new.

I have a pair of Olds 215 Offenhauser valve covers. New, never installed.

$200 including shipping (UPS insured) anywhere in the USA.

Also have a pair of ultra high compression heads, block, front timing cover, stock four barrel intake, distributor (in great working order) stock exhaust manifolds, and new block hugger headers in case you might need some other parts.
