Anyone know what Carbon Joe charged for the valve covers?
I've seen a pair and they are nice. Very strong and light. Paul needs a set! Mike |

I have an order for these in the works...should be getting them soon.
It is my understanding that they are quite strong, don't leak, and yes...a little bit of bling. Look at this motor from Jaby...you can't say it is not cool! This is the look I am going for. -Britain Attached image(s) |

Hmm... That fuel line doesn't seem to have a hose clamp at the carb. Could that lead to...a fire?
That is a cool looking engine though, even if Jake prefers to use his upright DTM shroud. That would look great in the 912, Britain. Mike |

I'm sure they're lighter, but how much? One to two pounds each? Not worth the cost for the weight savings.
The real advantage would be if they didn't leak. When is someone going to come up with a bolt-on cover, but not the way the cast aluminum ones bolt-on. Using the rocker arm mounting bolts is not the best way. We need someway to bolt up tight from the outside. Any thoughts? Paul |

They leak if your heads don't have the air ports in the side which keeps the pressure from building in the valve covers. Need'a have the port.

If you glue the cork gaskets with Gaskacinch to the valve cover they won't leak.

We don't need to be even, just equitable.
Oh dood... You know, there is a Telecaster that matches the Strat, but it's blue. I thought you'd hate that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) M |
