Abstract
A reinforced stamped valve cover including an elongated housing having a trough-like configuration including an elongated base wall, a pair of spaced, elongated side walls attached to and extending from one side of the base wall, and a pair of spaced, relatively short end walls extending from the base wall and adjoining the end walls. The walls are stamped from a single sheet of metal and are provided with an outwardly directed ledge substantially surrounded by a peripheral flange. A pair of spaced, U-shaped strengthening members are disposed within the housing with each having a bight and a pair of legs extending therefrom. Each bight is configured to substantially conform to the base wall and is in substantial abutment therewith. Each leg abuts a corresponding one of the side walls along substantially the entire extension thereof from the base wall and past the ledge to define with the flange a gasket-receiving pocket. The legs are configured to conform to the corresponding side wall and the strengthening members are secured in spaced relation to the housing.
