Re: taking off valve covers?
I wouldn't recomend that, unless you want to get debris and junk in your engine. Not to mention losing some oil. I guess if your looking for an excuse to replace your engine sooner take them off. IDK why anyone would drive with them off.Let's flip a coin. Heads I get tail, Tails I get head. -
Re: taking off valve covers?
It can be done, as to why they do it? I really dont know. You really wont lose that much oil as it only comes up thru the pushrods anyways.Comment

Re: taking off valve covers?
JUST A GUESS....they may do it upon install of new drive train accessories to just make sure everything is functioning correctly. I dont know of any guys who drive full time like this.
Another guess being they have such high lift cams that they can no longer use valve covers.Comment

Building the Tom Henry RS
Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 11:30 PM
