New Valve Covers

Just installed today.

No comments about the flames going the wrong direction will fix next time I have them off.

Well can not post because they are to large and I do not know how to shrink them?

The valve covers look good even if they are backwards. Too much purple wire loom for me though. It distracts from the engine...

The PO was attached to the purple planning on doing all the vac and rad hose in stainless. Not sure what to do with the purple just take off or change color I like yellow in the engine my self. But he did go thru alot of work putting it on.
are the flames being backwards noticable right off or not really? I dont want to take them off and change them to much I am kind of lazy.

Also will be getting air cleaner to match the valve covers next month.

They make the motor look like it is sitting backwards at first glance.

If I were you I would be flipping them asap so I didnt get a bunch of crap from my buddies.

Ya in a way I think I might like the backwardness of it, is that a word?

I want to get some nice reusable rubber and metal gaskets someday I will flip them then.
