Burton Power has, or at least had, valve covers for the Essex V6. Their 2003 catalog list them at 141.70 English pounds (for a pair). Their web site is www.burtonpower.com.

I've seen alloy valve covers for an Essex offered for sale on a British website a couple years back. 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 PennySent: Wednesday, December 14, 2011 7:45 AMSubject: [MarcosManiacs] Valve covers, Essex V6V6 essex engine.I want to change my rocker boxes from the pressed steel to aluminum, purely a cosmetic issue.Are there any other engines that have rocker boxes that will fit?or is there anybody out there that have a pair for sale?I'm in Florida.dave penny
