Who has "TVR" cast onto their rocker covers?

[culminator]

As apposed to a TVR sticker place on the top of the rocker cover. Mine has "TVR as part of the main casting, but I've not seen this on any other Griffs....

[pwd95]

The only ones I've seen these on are the 4.3's and the 450 Big Bad Wedges.

They are the proper engined early rocker covers, in black... AFIK only the early 430's and 500's had them fitted

[Uncle Fester]

My 1994 Serp has them.

I don't know when they stopped doing them, but I don't think that many serps have them.

[culminator]

OK, well that explains all. My 97 Griff didn't have them but my newly aquired pre cat does.

Ta muchly..

[Pupp]

97 Chim here with 'em...

well yes but how many of you have 2 pairs of them: :whisle: :smug:

Those rocker covers look to me like the standard Rover offering with the original ribs milled off then the tvr style milled into whats left. Does this sound feasible or does anyone know any different?
The rocker covers have the standard holes in them for the spark plug lead brackets which is what made me think they are modified Rover covers.

No, yes

2000 Special Edition with TVR Cast Rockers here

From handling them I would say they are definitely not RR ones re-engineered, they're cast as is, as they are not of the same quality casting of the RR ones.

But you can fit roller rockers underneath them, so I'm using that as the reason for spending a long time searching for a good set and then spending a small fortune buying and sorting them out, not vanity, not at all

I love my 4.3 TVR rocker covers with their TVR logos....... makes all the others without them (nearly every car ) look like they've got an inferior aftermarket replacement power plants

[culminator]

Hoover, you just wrote what I had been thinking but decided not to say!

Have you got roller rockers fitted or are you looking for some?

My 93 Pre Serp 500 has them .

[Sam Gamgee]

1994 pre serp 500 got em...! Mine, that is.

If it makes you feel any happier ....
I've got them on my 1993 pre serp
They are very poorly made and the rim around the bottom edge is all over the place - can only assume that TVR cast them on an "off" day
Consequently they piss oil out everywhere whether you use cork gaskets or the "slightly more expensive than diamond" rubber gasket.
Would be happy to exchange mine for some real ones
