Adjusting Valves .........
If you want to avoid a mess of oil leaking all over the place when you are adjusting the valves on your running engine.
Go to the wreckers and buy a second set of valve covers and cut an elongated hole the length of them for access to the rocker stud nuts.
Bolt the bottom of them to avoid seepage.
It works like a dream.

Adjusting Valves .........
Parts houses sell clips that go on the rockers to direct the spray downward, but they are a pain in the butt sometimes.
They also won't work on roller rockers...
I'd like to thank Mil1ion for giving me a reason to save the OLD valve covers off the core motor I recently traded in. They all of a sudden became valuable again...
(And to think I was going to use them for window boxes to start plants in! Chee...)

I've been through TWO sets of those clips by KD tools.
The white plastic wears down real fast.
