A few questions

After doing some searching I found out that the ebay ralliart oil caps are not any good. They don't fit properly as some have said.

Where can I get an oil cap that will fit with no problems?

Also, the paint for the valve cover, I heard 1200 degree is better than the 500 degree paint. Does the 500 degree faint more than the 1200 degee? What have people used before?....which kind works best?

500 degree works fine, have had mine for a while and no problems......i think i might start a painting service for valve covers.......$50 + your stock.....no core charge unless we have problems. I have 3 valve covers right now to play with.

I heard 500 fades quicker but if you said it works fine then I'll just go with that. Plus I also heard that 500 has a more glossy look to it over the 1200.

I'm going to go blue with the valve cover.

What about the oil cap? You know of any sites?
