Yeah, I love that black engine bay. My car is white (with blue racing stripes), and I get fed up with my chrome and polished pieces not popping out. I'd love to yank my engine some day and smooth and paint it black.
 
Yea, the support is messed up. It was hit in the front before I got it...its one of the things to replace on a long list of stuff....and yea, I have an electric fan. Oh, and those valve covers seem to be working good so far. I don't like the idea of no baffles either. Thanks for the compliments guys
 
haha ya i have the same valvecovers, its funny seeing peoples reactions when im sitting at a stoplight with burnt oil coming out of my hood from dripping on the headers
 
finally some other people who hate the trick flow valve covers! I hate them, they are awful and very poorly designed. We should not have smoke coming out our hoods while driving around, its retarded. Every grommet I tried was never a nice enough fit so I made my own grommet and no smoke ever since.

do you have any picture of the grommet you made or anything? I would kind of like to see that, I dont mind the oil too much but wouldnt mind getting rid of it either. thanks in advance
 
All depends kinda on how your motor is setup. I have the short ones and I dont have oil coming out the breather but instead I have the pcv sucking oil into the intake spacer but its not getting burned so my intake spacer is soak with oil. Since I only have one breather it doesnt get enough air from that one I guess so it decides to suck **** from other areas never fails.

Yea, they are talls. I haven't had any trouble with any smoke coming out from oil dripping.
