Okay, finished the PI swap last month and I have about 500 miles on it so far. When I finished the swap I installed my ever-so-shiny $30 steeda oil cap. When I went to change the oil like 100 miles ago and when I went to undo the oil cap, it felt kinda loose, like it had already been unscrewed a little bit. Okay, no big deal right....well I get done with that oil change and screw the oil cap in tight, so I know its not gonna back out of the valve cover.
So here is the problem, tonight, Im driving down a side street and I hear a noise under the hood, like metal against metal, and loud. I pull over, and as soon as I do and look behind my car, my steeda oil cap is sitting there on the road. I screwed it back in and drove home, but what would cause this, and has it happened to anyone else? If it happens again, I'm just gonna go back to the stock one (which looks like crap). Any suggestions...
