Works, so I still use it. I just don't get it out and show it off. :-)

I am not a professional engine builder. I just cobble my own crap together, and have helpped a couple of other guys in the past. Someone like Adger differs, I defer to them.
You've certainly helped me a ton over the years. I appreciate the guys that help us littles and I understand those that don't want to share info. You did say "old cap", but I thought you found fitment issues with your race stuff that you found by testing the race stuff. Here are pics of the cap I modified. I'll try to test tomorrow. I was thinking about using ATF for test fluid. What do you think?
