My vented valve covers

[felix yuen]

saw some pics of a few members on here who got the center cover CNC's out so that the coils can cool.....
i decided to do mine tooo !

i'd say it's $200 well spent !




credits go to the members on here who got theirs cut out !!

[frankiman]

i was one of the first to have it done, then offered the service to other members... but 200$ dam..
it cost me around 80-90$.. i did make all the technical drawings myself though


nice work, its most intrecate and unique, and with your name ! nice

heres the last one i got made for a buddy, on top of mine

Both look amazing!

The cover vent looks cool, but I dunno how much cooling they offer without an air draft going through em. IMHO, once coil pack and harness are upgraded/maintained, they fair ok with the heat, it's the ignitor that always buggers out from the heat anyways.

very true. i burnt one out...

[dodger94]

Probably cuz gtrs ignitors are known to be faulty and weak..

[cobrAA]

The ignitors still lasted 20 years....not too bad if you ask me.

Just run it without the cover.Problem solved

But it's so pretty with the cover on!

I was apprehensive about removing cover. Didn't know what to do with ignitor... hang on firewall? So I just cut the entire cover off except for the part that the ignitor mounts to.

Didn't notice a diff, but as far as I'm aware I have original coilpacks, so it might extend life a bit. Wouldn't recommend if you have a giant vent in your hood though.

In Japan they usually just bolt the ignitor to one of the valve cover bolts when they remove the cover. I saw that pretty often when I was shopping for my car 4 years ago.

I deleted my ignitor but can't decide how to vent the cover nicely and safely as I have a vented hood... I set up with 2 small electric fans (rewired to suite the low volts and high temp but damn the cover looks nicer as it is...

also should be noted thats its not the best idea to run with he cover off if you have a vented hood.
rain looves to hate on spark plugs.
