Re: How do you have the valve cover so you can adjust the cam gears (W C L)
do you cut whole where the cam gears are in the valve cover and the timing pulley cover or do you just cut the part away from the valve cover that covers the cam gears up
if anyone has any pics it would be nice

PMP Designs (The company that did the red-top in the pic) LASER-cuts their valvecovers. By far, it's the cleanest cut you can get. It's pricey, though. They charge like $75 just to cut the cover (not including shipping). Friend of mine had one, and it was NIIIICE. The F*CKER sold it w/o saying ANYTHING to me . I'm not too happy about that, since he had to have known I'd be interested in it. Anyway.....the moon-cuts are the best way to go, if you don't mind shelling out the cash to have it done. I'm sure a machine shop would do it for considerably less than PMP charges.

I just bought a temporary valve cover that was already cut. It just had the side completely cut off. And with the valve cover I took off, I'm going to have it moon cut and powder-coated. After that I can just sell off the cut valve cover.
