Re: Are these valve covers ok????

If you watch so many ppl make there lil V6's fast youll figure it out....I know thats what happend to me, I saw that it was possible and I looked somewhat easy. So I started reading and reading and asking alot of dumb questions and I probley still do...

Well its not easy at all! At least the tuning aspect...my brians smoking just thinking about how the $%# im going to tune this car... If you get into actually doing it, turbo, cam, whatever, this is the best place to ask questions!

Re: Are these valve covers ok????

Yea thats a big job man forsure!!!

Ive already wasted like 10 hours re-dueing stuff because ive never done this sort of install before... in my mind the heads, cam and such I added a few months ago was cake work compared to this. The fabrication part is the hardest and I sure you dealing with that on that show truck!
