Valve Cover Hold Down Tab
A valve cover hold down tab is an essential component used to secure the valve cover in place on an engine. It is designed to prevent the valve cover from coming loose during engine operation and helps maintain a proper seal. The hold down tab is typically made of durable materials such as steel or aluminum and is installed on top of the valve cover, securing it tightly to the cylinder head.

When selecting the correct valve cover hold down tab, there are a few factors to consider. First, you need to determine the specific requirements of your valve cover and engine setup. Different engines may have varying valve cover designs and mounting hole patterns. It's important to ensure that the hold down tab is compatible with your valve cover and can be properly aligned with the mounting holes on the cylinder head.
Consider the material and finish of the valve cover hold down tab. High-quality hold down tabs are often made from sturdy materials to withstand the vibrations and heat generated by the engine. They may also feature corrosion-resistant finishes to maintain their appearance and durability over time. Additionally, ensure that the hold down tab is designed for the type of valve cover you are using, whether it's for a small block Chevy (SBC) or a big block Chevy (BBC) engine.
