Hargett billet lower valve covers

Anyone used these - any opinions? I have some stubborn leaks from my turbo valve covers, looks like I'm going to have to buy a new set one way or another, these worth trying?

great product and support from Mark!
Make sure your rocker shafts aren't leaking.

If the problem is your rocker covers, why not just make them flat again?
If they have been over-tightened, they will be a bit buckled.
I never put covers back on an engine without giving them a clean-up on a flat plate with wet & dry sand paper. At a few dollars for sand paper and some free elbow grease, it's way cheaper than new ones!

They were machined previously as the 'bought from new' turbo valve covers had warped enough to leak, never over-tightened. If the Harggett covers can fix it, I'm more than happy to try them - the final stage of my anti-leak campaign. Just spent $2k+ on a new oil cooler and various other minor fixes...
