Valve cover Modification....

On High revving m10 motors the higher lift cams the oil from the oil spray bar gets even more atomized and tends to leave the stock oil breather located at an alrming rate. Even tough this is more of a problem on 316 or 336 cams above 7000rpms I decided to do this on my engine since I have experience some oil loss to my coke can catch can.

taking inspiration from Skidmark Racing's Bob Breed's car....

here is my creation, see both of them here.....from start to finish Click HERE




Since the second one came out so much better I decided I could sell it. So if you have a race car and were looking for a valve cover like this email me!

I polished the details FIRST on the second try and then masked them prior to painting....perfect. I also got better at painting with the wrinkle paint and achieved much better welds on my second try. Welding the cast aluminum was tricky.

here are some different designs I took pictures of at VARA Oktoberfest race......
