I don't know that I've ever seen a byproduct of what this claims to fix. Anyone?

How do you bolt the valve cover on?

From their site....
This is made out of a solid piece of 6061 billet aluminum(anodized RED) .The cam gridle acts and performs just like a crank gridle. Replaces the stock cam rails and stock cam rail bolts(only use the 4 center stock bolts which are used for the valve cover mounting nuts) with this one piece CNC billet unit and ARP 12 point Bolts. This helps eliminate cap flex and keeps the cam tower solid for max rpm and valvetrain stability. Also improves oiling within the head with less windage. Fits all types of cams and stock valve cover with absolutely no modification... Also uses Stainless steel dowel pins to align in the original/Stock location. Just unbolt your stock cam rails and install the new Billet cam gridle with ARP 12 point bolts are much stronger than the stock bolts. You retain the stock torque specs. Fits all B series Honda engines.

That would look really cool if I had a clear valve cover.

your valvetrain doesn't do what its supposed to at high rpm... you'd be surprised at how far off it really is. This would help I suppose.

Very interesting!

I can't see why it wouldn't work, but probably not needed until your spinning 9500+

$400 bucks is cheap for a little insurance against dropping valves

I still want some first hand experience of a walking cam or flexing cam tower.

Testing for stress shouldn't be too hard actually....

Since we all want to be like Tony1 we all have VC breathers and such the hole for testing is already there.

I say mount up a dial indicator and measure the play in the cam bracing.

jeff, we should ask Clayton to put a 1 after our names...

but back on topic, I definately wouldnt mind seeing research on the caps weaknesses. Think of how many heads and cams have been trashed at the 1st set of journals.
