Ok I went over to the shop and sat down with the owner.

I chose to do these out of aluminum as that is what the valve covers are made out of.

I will be just as rigid and APS put some goofy coating on that was actually washing off into the valve train and oil.

THIS WILL END JAN 31st 2015 ..... If we are short of orders I will refund Everyone
So here is the skinny:

FITS MOPAR PERFORMANCE VALVE COVERS ONLY!!!
Aluminum sheet metal baffles (full length)
Laser cut
precision cnc bent
per PAIR
need to make 50 of them (low qty run) - 25 sets
$38.50 (kept it under $40 like promised) + $10 shipping (that price includes a setup cost for both the bender and laser)

Paypal is sales@imotoconcepts.com - lets get going!!!!

Money getting ready to send, but I have one question, do we "gift" the Paypal to bypass the fees? I hope you get enough orders to do this, and I too might toss in some extra if we fall short, kind of like chumming before you fish.

$48.50 shipped still is a great deal.

You guys can gift the money if you feel comfortable doing that, I have Probably one the best vendor record here along with Richard at hipotek. Although I havent made parts in a few years. But that said gifting gives you no recourse on a dispute, so whatever you feel comfortable with.

Corey

So here is the final product - this is one sample that he wanted my blessing on before he made the rest. Should be done very soon, maybe Monday or Tuesday. Now you guys will just have to bear with me on shipping as it is ALOT of shipping to do seeing how I have to probably hand make the boxes as there is nothing available even close for this size item. But here they are - I will begin shipping next week and try to do a handful a day to get them out as quick as possible.

No I dont have that but it overlayed the APS unit to a T, so no reason to pull a cover as the APS one I am using came out of an MP VC.

I should be ready to start shipping them early next week.

Instructions from a previous manufacturer (the short version).

#21 Drill bit (drill the VC mounts but DO NOT drill through the cover)
10-32 Bottoming tap (after drilling mounts, cut a turn and reverse, repeat until fully tapped/threaded)
(12) 10-32 Machine screws (6 screws per cover, I used stainless steel)
Locktite (use on each screw)
Hand tighten snugly and allow for locktite to set, Reinstall VCs.

Updated again - got more done this afternoon except for a couple who never replied. Maybe one day I will hear from them.

Just about everyone should be taken care of, this batch is boxed and labeled but wont leave until the mail courier comes tomorrow.

IT looks like I will have like 4 more sets to sell after this GB is wrapped up and everyone gets their stuff. I will hold back these sets in case any get lost I have something to give out, otherwise these will be for sale but no longer for 48.50 - will be 55.00 shipped.

For those who don't want to go out and buy a thread tap and have to deal with that I was going to track down the "correct" style of screw that came with the factory supplied baffles that just screw in with no tap or drill or anything required.

For those who don't want to go out and buy a thread tap and have to deal with that I was going to track down the "correct" style of screw that came with the factory supplied baffles that just screw in with no tap or drill or anything required.

The concern with those type of screws is that the head may break off. A tap isn't that expensive.I used the above method and it worked out like a champ. Either way, good luck to all.

If you break the head off then you over torqued them and it will happen with any screw head when over torqued. Not a fault of the screw.

Worst case scenario I will spend the $10 and buy the Mopar baffle kit.

Received mine today as well all the way on the East coast! Thank you so much, Todd.

Survey says #8 - 1/4" socket head sheet metal screws are the ones that come with the Mopar baffles.

I found these #8 sheet metal screws @ Rural King.
They are 1/2 inch and too long. A wack with the cut-off wheel and you can't tell the difference.
The second one from the left is one I cut.

1/2" long are too long. I used 3/8 and they were pushing it. 1/4" is the correct length unless you do like motorhead and cut off the extra length of the 1/2" long ones.

This thought crossed my mind too....but I opted for the screws with loctite, because it would be my luck that someday I would need to remove that baffle to retreive a lodged or stuck object. I like options better.

hskr
03-01-2015, 06:29 PM
Yep, my original baffles that came with my covers had been installed with no issues for over 10 years using red loctite so that's what I used to install screws this time. It's not like they are under any pressure.

I used Blue LocTite. I would think that there are vibrations that these screws, or whatever you use, would experience so using something is better than nothing. And the sheet metal screws were such a PITA for me to keep straight. They kept wanted to wander and shift sideways. I may take them out and drill/tap just to be safe. We will see how bored I get lol.

Motorhead

I always grind the "square" corners off of any freshly cut screw or bolt just for that reason. It's worth the effort for the aggravation saved. Just need to wear safety glasses because they will go flying sometimes.

Anybody wanna buy my old stock baffles???

Motorhead

Blue loctite will be fine for the application and size of the fastener. What you need to watch is the number of the blue that you use. For instance 243 is oil tolerant whereas 242 is NOT.....plenty of info out there to google.

Also, while we are on the subject.....I like to use this stuff for peace of mind.

That's the size I used. Depending on your valve covers they may actually be too long. 1/4" length is what the Mopar baffles used. I had a hard time getting a couple of the 3/8" screws down all the way.

Good for rocker arm adjustment nuts, hmmm. Inside the valve cover, wonder how much oil those see.
242 is going to be just fine for the little screw for the baffles.
But hey, you are the expert, not me.

IMHO, I would rather be safe then sorry. Especially for a part that's so trivial, but is able to cause a lot of damage if it let's go. I am probably overreacting and being anal about it as I went back and tapped the holes, but peace of mind is priceless to me. Just my .02c.

Let's see some more pics of these mounted!

So after a cross country drive with my truck just a little update. Before I always had oil on valve covers coming out my breather on drivers side valve cover. After installing these full length baffles, zero oil comingnout the breather.

Do you have a blow by issue normally? Or just a leaky breather?

I know I have a little blow by problem, hence the reason it burns 1 qt of oil pretty much every tank of gas.
