Valve Cover Hold-Down Tab Kit for Small-Block Chevrolet, 5 in. [Black, Set of 4]
Hold-down tabs are what let a cast aluminum cover clamp evenly without the bolts dimpling the rail. Torque a cover down without them and the sealing pressure concentrates at each fastener, which is where the weeping starts. These are 5 in. steel tabs in black, sold as a set of four, and they are a required item with several of the valve cover families rather than an optional dress-up part.
