OK, all you limeys: 4 beautiful chromium-plated valve covers for Continental O-200
These are not dinged up. Will trade for 4 Rolls Royce O-200 valve covers in
similar condition. Just for the hell of it.

No, the insides are not chromed.

So THAT'S what happened to that engine. No, the insides are not chromed. Hey, it's been done before! No doubt, Orval. That crazy British vet who restores cars and motorcycles on the tube (and built a Europa) had a series on restoring an old Harley knucklehead. If memory serves he showed the plating company chroming the visible sides of the parts only by coating the other sides with wax before the electroplating began. BTW, the Rolls-Royce valve covers was a passing fancy, now abandoned. It would be a little like the canard of, well, putting Millenium valve covers on Continental cylinders. (inside joke)
