Hey big guy, I hate to tell ya, but I THINK your valve covers are backwards! LOL No wait, that's the right way, BACKWARDS is the right way! So confusing! LOL:D

Thats is the correct way. My nieghor was already over and said turn that valve cover around.......:wink:

Hey Dan,
Those are some wild valve covers. What is it, front is back or back is front or or or. I'm tired now, have to go take a nap and think about all this.
I sure hope you checked the piston to valve clearance before you put that monster together?
Looks good. Now the boat.
Later 383

What boat are you putting it in Dan, and will we see it at Anna this year ?

[DansBlown73Nordic]

Well the plan is to put it in my Nordic Flatty. As far as Anna I wouldn't be waiting down by the boat launch with your camera......;)
