    Default Rocker Covers from the States

    Does anyone know if these rocker covers https://www.zzperformance.com/grand_...id=101&cur=138 will fit my series 2 Buick V6?

    Thanks

    Well...they seem to be different. On one side there's two extra cut-outs. Does anyone know if they will still fit provided I use the right gasket for the rocker cover?

    They are for the L67 Supercharged V6 but will still fit the Ecotec VS-VX but not the VY as the heads were a bit different..
    The cut outs in the ZZP covers are for the Injectors on the L67 which are mounted in the heads...

    Yeah, I'll see if I can return them, otherwise I'll try sell them. Bought some gloss black paint for my old ones today, better than nothing I guess.

    Yeah I originally tried but they seemed hard to get, they should look ok painted for now.

    Well I'm going to wait until tomorrow to see if I get a reply from ZZP as they told me they would fit...depending if I have to pay for return postage or not I might return them. If I have to pay postage then I'm happy to sell them for $200 even, they cost me $235 and are still brand new, never fitted obviously. However I have die ground off the messy casting marks that were left inside and cleaned them all thoroughly. If $200 is too much I'm open to nearest offers I guess.
