Pontiac V.C. Tabs (4)

The TRANS-DAPT Pontiac V.C. Tabs (4-piece set) are OEM-style valve cover hold-down tabs engineered for Pontiac V8 engines. Manufactured from steel and finished in bright chrome, these tabs secure the valve cover to the cylinder head while providing the factory appearance critical for engine bay authenticity and reliability. This four-pack ensures complete coverage for a standard Pontiac V8 configuration.

Hold-down tabs serve a functional purpose beyond aesthetics—they prevent valve cover movement during engine operation, which can cause oil leaks and gasket failure over time. Chrome plating provides corrosion resistance while maintaining a polished appearance consistent with stock Pontiac engines. The steel construction ensures durability under thermal cycling and engine vibration. At 0.47 lbs for the complete set, these tabs add minimal weight while delivering the clamping force needed to maintain a secure seal.

Pontiac V8 engine builders, restoration specialists, and performance enthusiasts rely on correct hold-down hardware to prevent oil seepage and maintain engine compartment cleanliness. Whether completing a stock rebuild, period-correct restoration, or upgrading aging original tabs that have become corroded or stripped, the TRANS-DAPT Pontiac V.C. Tabs provide OEM-specification replacement at a practical price point. Compatible with standard Pontiac V8 configurations, these tabs restore proper valve cover clamping force and visual authenticity to the engine bay.
