Re: WTB Frontenac SOHC top cover
I saw the completed setup on an engine at gaslight in Urbana years ago, do not know if it is still there, cool looking, was wondering how it performed?

Re: WTB Frontenac SOHC top cover
Layden I believe if you could not find one to re-cast from, you could take a reproduction overhead valve cover and add as required. I have had to do this on many projects in the past. Just throwing out some possible options.

Maybe you can still contact the guy who was making the reproductions from an older post.

I just asked wifey if I could take that pile off Layden. I’ll let you know what happened when I get back from the emergency room.

That 3D model is the first step... all you need now is a foundry that 3D prints sand, or a CNC mill and a big chunk of aluminumDan McEachern wrote: ↑Mon Mar 08, 2021 11:54 amHere is a shot of a CAD model for the cover:

Photo of Jerry Sherman Jr's booth at Bakersfield a few years ago. At the end of the table are 2 SOHC cover castings. You might check and see if he still has one or if he has the casting pattern.
