Drag Cartel Intake/Exhaust Port Covers - Honda/Acura K Series
Cleaning your K series valvetrain or building your head? Drag Cartel makes billet aluminum port covers that seal your intake and exhaust ports while you're working on the head. The factory port covers are cheap plastic caps that fall off or crack. These billet aluminum covers are machined from 8620 aluminum and hard anodized black. They seal the ports so debris, dirt, or tools don't fall into your cylinders when you're working on the valvetrain. If you're doing a valve job, cam swap, or head rebuild, you need port covers to protect your cylinders.
Why You Need Port Covers
When you're working on your valvetrain with the head still on the motor, your intake and exhaust ports are open to the cylinders. If you drop a valve spring retainer, a valve keeper, or a tool into an open port, it falls straight into the cylinder. Once something falls into the cylinder, you've got to pull the head to get it out. Port covers seal the ports so nothing falls in. They also keep dirt and debris out of your cylinders while you're working. If you're cleaning valves or replacing valve stem seals with the head on the car, port covers are mandatory.
Billet Aluminum, Not Cheap Plastic
Drag Cartel machines these port covers from 8620 billet aluminum. They're not cheap plastic caps that fall off when you bump them. The aluminum covers fit tight and they stay in place while you're working. They're hard anodized black, which protects them from corrosion and makes them look clean. The hard anodizing also makes the aluminum more durable so the covers don't get dinged up or scratched.
Set of Two: Intake and Exhaust
You're getting two port covers: one for the intake side and one for the exhaust side. K series heads have separate intake and exhaust port openings, so you need both covers to seal all the ports. Install the covers over the ports whenever you're working on the valvetrain with the head on the motor.
