Ive seen this done on a few late 60's and early 70's mustangs, people are running there engines with the valve covers off a not spewing oil all over the place.(running as in idol or rev) Is there a way that this can be done with our rams? I think is called a short oil mod or something.

 

Are you talking about something like these, so you can adjust clearance without oil spewing all over? http://www.tool-home.com/products/ca...oducts_id=7128

 

why would you want to do that? You'd run the risk of getting crap all in there

 

its a racing thing. It allows drivers/crew members to make adjustments with out having to take the covers on and off all the time.
I dont know if its doable or not, but I would think that it is possible.

 

wtf... These trucks don't need that amount of fine tuning that a race car needs! You don't take a race car off road.. so why would you even consider taking these trucks to the track?... it's a 4x4.. they're slow, heavy, and have ****ty handling! If you want to run around with the covers off.. get a race car.. not a 4x4

 

Quick question , What do you hope to gain by running without valve covers?

 

I never said i would run w/o valve covers. The purpose of this question was to check rockers and rods while engine was running, and im sure Rm_indy would disagree with what Iwhite says about racing our rams. My truck is not an off road ram, it is a drag racing ram. I race it , not mudd in it.

You guys took my question competely wrong.

 

what kind of times are you guys getting out of these things?

 

im in the 14s ..for right now

 

thats not bad, do you run the mud tires too? what does your truck weigh?
