Finned Polished Hemi Predator Valve Cover 212 Minibike Gokart Go Kart Aluminum on 2040-parts.com

SmallTownSpeed is proud to be the North American dealer for the quality cast aluminum, Australian made, AussieSpeed product line. I have these in stock in Texas, and offer FREE priority shipping.


This listing is for one brand new polished finned cast aluminum valve cover for the Harbor Freight HEMI Predator, which also sometimes referred to as the "new" predator 212. The easiest way to tell the difference is that the "new" HEMI predator motor come from the factory with a die cast valve cover, and the non-hemi "old" motor comes with a stamped tin cover(thats the same shape as the honda small blocks),. This is perfect for giving your go kart, mini-bike, barstool racer, or any other small engine project that awesome traditional hot rod look! The extra height really beefs up the look of this motor, while also providing extra clearance for various roller rocker and valve train options.

Check my ebay store/other listings for the matching top plate, catch cans, fuel pump covers, gas tanks, and clutch covers. But note that the hemi predator takes the honda style top plate, which is different from the non hemi predator. Contact me for package deal discounts if your buying multiple items.

This is polished(rough cast between the fins and recessed areas), and looks awesome, but its not a perfect mirror finish, and while it looks awesome and would be ready to enter into a mini-bike type show, its not a mass produced part, or a "show" polish. It will have minor flaws, and may have some small nicks and scratches from the shipping to get it to the USA. But if you have ever spent the time and money to polish a rough cast part, or have one polished, you will know that $15 extra for the polished cover over the cast one is a bargain.

It is very important that your motor is vented, if you do not vent your crankcase(which is usually accomplished by a hose coming off of the stock valve cover), you can lose power, blow out seals and gaskets and damage your motor. Since there are several ways to accomplish this(one of which is a nipple on the oil fill plug, which would not require a hole in the valve cover), and since most of these covers will be going on really cool custom projects, they do not come pre-drilled to give you the largest amount of flexibility; but these are good high quality, non-brittle castings that are easy to drill and tap(for a vent or pulse fitting for a fuel pump). If you are not comfortable with/don't have the tools for/would rather not mess with the drilling and tapping, call me at 972-989-4003 and I should be able to help you out.

Note: These are small production run, sand cast(not cheap brittle die cast), aluminum parts. These are high quality parts, but due to the manufacturing process, there can be very slight variances from part to part. I personally run these parts, and have been blown away by the quality( never had an issue with any of them), but just want to remind people that these are low production cast parts, not factory made, cnc machined billet parts(which is a big part of why I prefer these parts). They look awesome as cast, you can paint them(or smooth then paint if you want a mirror finish), or they can be smoothed and polished, which looks amazing!
