Default Plastic valve covers...

Hello to all...

So did all the 12v engines come with plastic valve covers? Any other options?

Thanks.

G.

Default It would appear that sometime in 96 they switched to the plastic valve covers.

Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

My 1997 has the plastic ones.
