Dave have you considered carbon fiber covers? I have a carbon fiber shop in Saratoga Springs NY and we have made specialty items for all makes and models of cars. Currently my son is restoring a 1965 Marcos. We can use your current covers to make the molds and would return them with the CF covers. Steven G.

It may have been a Scimtar site? If you do a little searching on the internet, you should find something. I doubt there is much to be found for that engine in the USA as it was never officially imported here. There are numerous english cars that used that powerplant and I am sure the valve covers are unique to that engine. What part of Florida? Thats where I am too. -Donny ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Penny <mailto:davepenny13@...> To: marcosmaniacs@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2011 7:45 AM Subject: [MarcosManiacs] Valve covers, Essex V6 V6 essex engine.
