How To Install: High Performance Oil Cap
Step 1: Pop the hood
Step 2: *Optional* Disconnect the negative ground cable from the battery (precautionary)
Step 3: Unscrew OEM oil cap (note: I recommend using gloves to protect your hands)
Step 4: Screw on new high performance oil cap by hand (~ 20 ft.lbs for those of you with internal torque sensors in your arms)
Step 5: Reconnect the negative ground to the battery (skip this step if you chose not to do step 2)
Step 6: Close the hood
Step 7: Test Drive (Feel the POWER!)
This is the only thing I know how to DIY on an EVO. Sorry if it seems trivial. I am just trying to make a contribution to the tech. section of EVOM.

Thanks, I've been looking for a write up on this. How long did it take you? Which way should I rotate the oil cap? How many WHP is this mod? Do you have to rotate an ARC oil cap in the opposite direction since it is a JDM piece?

FWIW I tried making quality posts but they never "counted". Now I know why. They weren't considered a worthy contribution to the site (because they were regional related e.g. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=282108, or introductory https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=182553. Now I realize I need to post in the technical sections to get some recognition. So here I am. This is the only stuff I know how to do on an EVO, so I wrote about it. Sorry if it seems trivial to you. Others seem to think its helpful
