Center rise exhaust manifolds.
It's almost impossible to pull the valve covers without pulling the manifolds.
I recently adjusted the valves on my buddy's triple engine boat with GIL's.

Re: Stupid Engineering
Punch the top of your filters so it will drain before taking them off. Now if they're sideways like mine your screwed every wich way!

Re: Stupid Engineering
How about this one?
It's all just a matter of weight and balance.
I avoid calling this a redneck roller coaster. As there are a fair share of rednecks around here.
None dumb enough to ride this one.
Yee Ha Baby
