Default Katech C5R Valve Covers

I installed a set of Katech C5R valve covers recently.

Reeeeally happy with the way they dressed up the engine bay.
I also converted to the LS6 valley cover, so no PCV connections were necessary on the valve covers ..

Here are a few pics.......

no pics... link no workie.. can you email them to me at swochr51@email.pct.edu i'd really like to see how they look, what kind of trouble would it be to have the pcv connections and stuff switched and would it still pass visual inspection possibly?

zchgla -- the stuff you are reffering to is the coil packs and they are relocated under the cowl.

Looks sweet. Much improved look to the engine bay.

Thanks for the feedback!

As far as polished goes, not sure...
I know the manufacturer does engraving for an additional price.

zchgla:
The coils are positioned under the cowl
Check out the first pic...upper left hand corner, u can see the red Moroso wires
You can also see the silver mounting bracket thru the cowl vents
I did have to delete the AIR system to make room for the driver side relo bracket.

The price was a lil but I am definitely the first on my block with them

Looks BAD ***! I wish I had some change to do that.

JFP relo kit? link(s)? All I've seen is the thunder.

BTW what is the oil filler replacement filter? metco? pn? or place to get it?

Thank you....I am really happy with em
I called Jay Fisher Pontiac directly.....I assume they are still making the brackets and assembling the wires

The breather is from Speed Inc. www.ls1speed.com

Do you happen to have a link for JFP? or pics of the kit uninstalled?

Thanks for the # and the help!

Brandon:
scroll down to the bottom of this post
http://www.fastls1.com/forums/showth...oil+relocation
There are 2 pics of the assembled but uninstalled coil relo brackets

The angled brackets attach to your cowl, under the black plastic cowl-vent
piece.

I dont know if JFP ever had these on their site...I remember trying to find the kit on their site last year.....no dice..

The ThunderRacing kit is similar, and I know the company I got my valve covers sells em too (a lil $$)

Nice pics, yet again!

Thanks for the info, I think I'll see if they sell the wires seperate. Now I gota find some pics to see how the install of the relocation goes, I see how it works, but still have a little concern...

I had those 2 years ago in a polished milled version, they are sweet but needed to be setup with a seperate gasket. Looks good.
