Default whats up with all these people cutting valve covers

i cant find a straight valve cover anymore.
they are all garbage because some dude thinks he can cut straighs and destroys another valve cover.
why do you need to cut the whole thing off thats stupid.
cut the damn hole so you can adjust the screws, no need to EXPOSE your cuper cool shiny ebay cam gears...

kinda pisses me off i ve been looking for one for a while now and all we got is those damn crooked cut covers here.

Its all about preference.



Is this acceptable? I have a machinist cutter that has the exact dimensions to do this on VTEC covers, its a bit costly, but nice.

Could be an F20B or H23 VTEC.........

OP, if the ones you are seeing are all cut crooked, ask for a discount on the purchase price due to it being cut improperly. Then buy a grinder and straighten it out yourself.

easier to just cut the whole thing off.

and if you really want to get a clean one buy one from Ebay and cut it yourself..

and if u only want to spend 10 dollars you are going to get a valve cover thats cut and prob all fkkkd up!
