Pics of how I fit the engine cover after intake...
« on: June 14, 2011, 09:03:38 am »
Here are some pics of my engine cover mod to accommodate my p-flo.
I used a dremel with a cutting disc and then reinforced the rear two grommets with a sheet of aluminum.

The reinforcement is great.  Simple but very effective & functional

Good work

very nice,
I could not do that on mine as I have the forge twintake which has the heatshield that goes on the back cover supports.
but chopped the back off my engine cover and it holds in place just fine.

Just using the front fixing posts?

Hate my cam cover looking filthy.  Want to put an engine cover back on.  A few people have done it around the CAI and I like the look.
