I like those valve covers. Makes for a really clean look. I was looking at those earlier but didn't know anything about them.

Wheres the screws? How do you remove the top piece?

Eickert valve covers have a mount plate that bolts to the head and also houses the plumbing and nozzles for the spring oiling system. The top cover is held on with 2 large thumbscrews, one at each end.

Just need to paint the transom and drop in the motors next. I was planning new graphics as well but have already spent about 30k more than my original budget. Ouch!!!

I'm hoping to have it together before the Smoke on the Water run.

Rob...

Rob, give me a call if you need anything.

I bet a lot of people were staring at the back of your truck with those two engines in it! Most people outside the marine world are lucky to see one big blower motor!
