Engine Application: Built for Holden 253 and 308 V8 carburettor motors across the Red, Blue and Black engine variants. Suits HT, HG, HQ, HJ, HX, HZ, WB, LH/LX Torana, VB through VL Commodore and earlier carby Holden V8 builds where a bright chrome dress-up package is the goal.
-
Will Not Fit EFI Heads (Critical): These covers fit the carby Holden V8 heads only. They will not fit the later EFI Holden V8 heads, which use a different bolt pattern and cover footprint. If your Holden V8 is fuel injected (factory EFI on later VL, VN onwards, or aftermarket EFI conversion using EFI heads), confirm head type before ordering.
-
Raised 308 Logo and Finned Grooves: The prominent 308 logo sits in the centre of each cover with raised grooves running along the top, giving a finned look without being a fully finned aftermarket cover. The chrome plating picks up the raised logo and groove edges sharply, giving more visual depth than a flat smooth cover. The logo and grooves are part of the pressing rather than a stuck-on badge.
-
Tall Profile (95mm): At 95mm overall, the tall design clears a high-lift camshaft, roller rockers, shaft mount rockers and stud girdles commonly used in performance Holden V8 builds. Standard height covers often foul on aftermarket roller valvetrain, which is where this profile earns its place..
-
Power Booster Clearance Warning: At 95mm tall, these covers can come close to the brake power booster on certain Holden chassis, particularly tighter engine bays. Worth measuring clearance between the existing covers and the booster before ordering, especially on Toranas and earlier Holdens where the booster sits lower than on later Commodores.
-
Triple Chrome Plated Construction: Pressed steel base with triple chrome plating gives a deep, reflective finish and improves long-term durability against oxidation and chip-through. Suits chrome-themed engine bays, restorations and show builds where a bright dress-up package ties through the engine bay.
-
Complete With Baffles, Breather Setup Separate: Internal baffles are included to control oil splash and stop oil being pulled out through the breather. Push-in breather caps, grommets and rocker cover gaskets are sourced separately, so plan to add these to the order. Chrome breather caps tie the dress-up package together if a cohesive look is the goal.
- Practical Buyer Tip: Chrome benefits from a gentle wipe-down with a soft microfibre cloth and a quality chrome polish to keep it bright, particularly in coastal or humid conditions where pitting can start to develop. Avoid harsh degreasers and abrasive polishes that can dull or scratch the plating over time. For 253 builds that prefer not to display the 308 badge, the no-logo chrome version of this same cover is available.
