Terry T Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Trent, Just to clarify, You could not get the E9 in a CH, only in a CL. As far as Chrome Valve covers, I don't know, never seen chrome valve covers offered from the factory and I was selling Macks in the late '90's during the demise of the E9 (sad days). I think it would have to have been done on an individual basis.T.

Paul Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Barry Maybe you would know for sure what truck they were for, but the company I work for had some aluminum covers chromed and attached a brass MACK emblem to them for a special edition truck.

Dick815th Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I don't care what anybody says...chrome valve covers on a E9 is flat out sexy! ←You got that right. Any V8, be it a Cummins 903 or Detroit 8V are at their sultry best with chrome valve covers glaring at you. Chrome is expensive in these OSHA regulated times but gee whiz, big valve covers do look good when dazzled up.

bubbamobilin Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 First strip all the paint from your stock valve covers using a die grinder with a ScotchBrite wheel. Then find someone in your area that does metal finishing for chrome. All metal for chroming has to be polished, no scratches or marks. Once that cast alum. is preped for chrome it looks just as good. This is what I did on my E9. Once they are polished out maintainence is no harder than polishing a set of wheels or fuel tanks. The company I used for polishing was H&H Polishing in Charlotte NC. I don' have their phone # but you can probably get it from 411. I believe the cost was $30 or $40 per cover. Cheap enough to be stylin and profilin!

harrybarbon Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Has anyone taken a video of Willard Good's LTL with engine running and moving from a truck show? It would be a sound and sight to see Phantom 554 run - and does anyone know what the 554 is? And I read that Willard operates his LTL during the summer season carting grains, from the pictures I have found he seems to have 2 grain trailers 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/8-chrome-valve-covers-for-a-v8-e9/#findComment-398667 Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrybarbon Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Thank you Brocky. And by chance last night looking at Superliners on youtube I found a short video of Willard arriving at a truck show with his LTL, bob tail and reversing into his parking spot - it looks and sounds terrific, the E9 is a perfect match in his LTL I will try copy the youtube video and post here. Imagine driving along side of Willard's LTL pulling his loaded hopper or dump tipper on a highway, would be a video to watch but without the glam music some of the people load onto their videos - just the truck on the highway and the motor whistling, 2-3 minutes would be a pleasure, no more needed 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/8-chrome-valve-covers-for-a-v8-e9/#findComment-398835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
