lookin good man

 

are those the ebay valve covers? if so hows the rocker clearance, if not where are they from.

 

yep they are the ebay valve covers, I got them from rodpartsdealer or something like that. The clearance is about half an inch, I thought they were hitting the poly locks at first, but then I noticed they hadnt machined one of the holes for the bolts all the way which was causing the valve covers to not seat. I grinded it down on both and they fit great.

 

Did those valve covers come with the oil fill cap?

 

no, the plastic old one looked gay, I even sanded it down and painted it to match the black paint on the car, but it still looked gay, so I changed it. Here is a comparison photo



I got the oil cap off ebay too. Its a really nice piece, its machined out of an aluminum billet. and it actually has set screwed in the top, looks really nice.

 

Nice looking valve covers!

 

thanks they are cast aluminum, the only problem is scratches and keeping them clean, I kinda wish I had gotten the magnesium style now haha, nah I like the mirror polish

 

Looks sharp.
Someone stole your Alternator in the last pics..

Looks good man.

 

Nice observation about the alternator. Someone stole your engine?

I think it was Gremlins..

Na, it's just a joke.. I'm doin an Engine swap..

 

actually I dont need an alternator anymore, I upgraded to a flux capacitor charging system haha

 

Change the Blinker Fluid to Synthetic while you are at it..

 

I wonder how many newbs are gonna search for flux capacitor charging system and blinker fluid because of this haha

 

Don't forget the Exhaust Bearings..

 

What we have is a couple of comedians!!

 

Why doesn't "flux capacitor charging system" come up in the search?

 

Cause it's OEM Factory on the DMC Deloreans only..

 

You'd have to have a 3rd Gen with the same 2.8L for it to be compatible anyways.
