GT500 Valve Cover Install

Thanks @Tang for the confirmation, much appreciated!

If i am not mistaken, the latter plastic valve covers use all the bolts
Did you checked your ?

Good call. I'll compare the bolt count on both valve covers to these for extra peace of mind.

I never even thought to count or compare bolt holes from cover to cover. The new covers came with bolts. I stuck a new bolt in each hole on the new cover. The amount of new bolts matched the amount of holes in the new covers. It worked. Wasn't too much to think about.

You can’t assume because you have plastic valve covers that you have missing bolts
Was a running chance, i believe around 2018, to incorporate the missing bolts and holes in those plastic covers
Also was a tbs to fix the issue. Basically drilling the blind holes and adding bolts to them

Just swapped to the gt500 covers and the issue have is how to attach the wires that run along the top of the valve covers. The clips that attach the wires to the old plastic covers have a square looking nipple to snap into place. The GT500 covers have a round hole, so they won't snap it.

You guys zip time them or leave them alone?

Thanks

Have to agree with above, no issues on my install, all went back in new covers

I guess I can swap the loop connector for something like this?
