Looking for a set of TU valve covers to get powder coated. Anyone have a spare set they're willing to sell?

Have you tried eBay? I know I saw a set there a couple weeks ago.

What does TU mean?

It means Technical Update as far as I know, and as Jimbo mentioned, the M62TU motor was the one used in 99-01 740s.

Probably a few months, got a big service/project coming up with the car... and another member is sending me a set to do in different color. So i'm just gathering parts at the moment.

ill let you know the price when I get the next set finished.

Ask shled. He has a powder coated set in silver. If he doesn't want to part with them I have a set I'll sell. There not coated, but I can coat them for an extra 80.00.

Yeah I just planned on powder coating them black actually.

Have any pictures of the finished product? Also, what would you be looking to get for them (pre powder coating, and post powder coating)?

I don't have pics of shleds covers. If you look at the timing chain guide rail DIY I did, you'll see my covers done in a wrinkle black finish. They look real good. I'll send you a pm with pricing.
