huh. wasn't aware Eagle came out with a set. I've heard many builders like the Callies caps because the angle they use for the splayed bolts keeps them from having to worry as much about hitting a water jackets. apparently other caps this is a common occurance.

They're actually Pro Grams caps. I had to trim the dipstick tub a litte, but it works fine.

that's the name I was thinking of. They make the caps, Callies and someone else sell them under their name.
glad to hear all you had to do was trim the tube. I'd heard some caps completely block the hole but never got any confirmation of that.
