Figured out the "Why" of "Alligator" and "Butterfly" hoods
it has been mentioned in previous threads how tilt front ends are the real choice for a big truck and Yes they are MUCH better for servicing...how ever this picture made me realize why I like butterfly's
 A tilt is only better when it will actually open

That's why, when tilt hood is the only one available, the manufacturer modifies and installs an access hole to reach service items like oil, coolant and other daily service items .
