  • Patent number: 7765971
    Abstract: A valve cover system for covering valves, rocker arms and a cam shaft of an engine includes a mounting plate being mounted to a cylinder head of the engine. The mounting plate has an access aperture extending through a top surface and a bottom surface of the mounting plate. The access aperture permits the valves, the rocker arms and the cam shaft to extend through the mounting plate when the mounting plate is mounted to the cylinder head. A plurality of securing assemblies is coupled to the mounting plate and upwardly extending therefrom. A cover is mounted to the mounting plate to cover the access aperture and inhibits debris from entering the valves, the rocker arms and the cam shaft. A pair of latch assemblies is operationally coupled to the cover. The latch assemblies receive the securing assemblies to secure the cover to the mounting plate.
