Baron Valve Cover

Hey sasquatch, your valve cover is wrong, it says mazda, not Ford :p

Now I wish I had done this to mine when I had it off. Looks great Sparky.

Thanks, ya'll! Have fun with the paint!

I have to say that's the CLEANEST engine I have ever seen, Mick!

NICE! What is that valve cover off of? I like the smooth style, is it in the US? Would it fit a stock B3?

I like this thread...we should change it to VC's only! Show us your TOP!

i think he custom made it out of alum.

[festymick]

Nope. Stock valve cover.
It is nearly the same as the B3 top so the results would be the same if you chose to take this path regardless of 'top' type.

We tried three times to fill the holes and grooves but the weld kept falling out due to the unfamiliar characteristics of the metal in the cover.
In the end I took it to a body shop where they used bodyfiller! It has been dyno'd on low boost and driven for over 1 hour in 40 degree temps and only has some small imperfections to date.

O, I see, you had to custom make the stock valve cover, so it was smooth.

Where would one get a mazda 1.3 b3 valve cover? Off a 121 in europe?
