Ya or Na on new VCs cant decide if I like (pics)

[AChotrod]

I picked up a set of polished Alum VCs and went with the ball mill design, since i thought it would nice with our intakes and different than the average smooth design. Now that they are on I cant decide if I want to change them to something else?
What do you think/suggestions?

Never mind the date on the pics lol!

I voted keep them. The first pic I was, hmm...then the last two pics I think they look really good.

[proace4]

badass! where did you pick them up from if you dont mind me asking?

[grn95t/a]

ya keep them, they look sweet! but on a small side note, maybe ball milled breathers too?

[BLOWNDFIZ]

maybe ball milled breathers too?

Or maybe take it a step further and run braided lines to a vented catch can. The oil residue that comes out of the breathers makes the covers hard to keep clean. Moreso when you have to clean it out of the milled area.

They look very nice. That is one clean engine bay.

[AChotrod]

Thanks all!

Everybody is gonna hate me but I had vote na on this. I was never to big of a fan of motors with a lot of chrome or shine to them. Makes me think that the owner is to worried about the looks rather than the performance of the product. I know thats not your case but i'm just sayin.

[Toronto_LT1]

keep 'em,they look really nice!

[z28rob18]

i voted na because i dont like them too much. they look ok but id rather a fabricated set or somethin that looks more racecar like.

[Pony_Killer]

i say keep them! i almost went with those same ones but wasnt sure how they would look..but now i do n i like them! its better looking then the fab's i end up buying that i never ended up using

[AChotrod]

I like fabbed covers but I dont think my car is fast enough to justify them yet? Plus the fabbed VCs tend to leak more.
I bought these off a member here for a decent price so I figured Id give them a shot. They look pretty good IMO now that Im getting used to them.

[R3DLT1]

Get some fuel rail covers :popcorn:

[AChotrod]

No way hose A!!!!!

[YZF]

I like them alot.

[AChotrod]

ya they are growing on me.

[YZF]

I need to get pics up of mine. But I have several parts to order before I even need to put them on. So WTF Shane!?

[AChotrod]

True but welded baffles lets you run open breathers

one side has a screw in baffle, Im still looking for another for the drivers side

[IronOutlaw]

Looks great. Id have to say you have one of the nicest built cars on the site.

[YZF]

Just some better goodies/valvetrain to fit underneath.

If you have the baffles then running the breathers is no issue. Mine are welded to the cover and with the open breahter I do not get any oil coming out onto the cover at all.

[AChotrod]

I talked to larry about hooking me up with a set like u guys have, but its a bit out of my price range at the moment. Right now only one of my VCs has a baffle. I saw one some where that would fit. Just cant remember where :(:(:(

[AChotrod]

Looks great. Id have to say you have one of the nicest built cars on the site.
Thanks!! If I ever get it all sorted out Ill be happy with it too!:cry:

[YZF]

I like how the grooves in the VC's match with the top of the intake. The lines flow together well. I approve.


Yes, I realize I've already offered my opinion in here once, but another one wouldn't hurt.

[AChotrod]

True that!! I like your opion's! LOL!

[YZF]

The grammar police are watching you Mikie. Haha. I'm supposed to be on the road (which I am) but LTxTech had me by the seat of my pants. Thanks Palm Treo!

[AChotrod]

[Gearhead_Girl]

I have the same set of VC's I love em. I vote keep em!

BTW what gaskets did you use? I used felpros and they were a B*** to get on. It was almost like they were too short.

[BIGT94z]

[AChotrod]

Thanks Im using the gaskets that came with them, but for the moment the motor is out of the car.
