Need some help .... looking for? - Competition Diesel.Com

Do any of the local Mod Shops or Manufacturers make billet or custom valve covers for the cummins 12 valve?

I have a customer looking to buy some hot stuff for the new head he's installing.... I know I've seen some stuff somewhere but can't find the bread crumbs to get back to them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just polish the stock covers. We use a 220 sanding wheel to knock the paint off, then 320 grit, then polish, 320, polish, 400, polish, 400, polish, 600, polish, 600, polish, 800, 800, 800, polish, warm water wash, polish, cleaner wax, show wax, and finally another coat of show wax. They look like mirrors.

I think it took my polishing guy ~25 hours total because he's a perfectionist... and he owed me money.

bnraond.

That's the look we want.... but I don't think this guy wants to spend the 25 hrs or the money for us to polish.....

But thanks Mucho for the response.
