See-thru valve covers?
Does anybody make them? I'm just curious...I think it was look awesome to be able to see the whole valvetrain moving in there. Not to mention you could visually ID any problems before they got worse.

Clear valve covers because simi-popular for a while in the 70's. They also came in tinted colors (red, blue, etc).
But problem was that after like 5 minutes the inside was completely covered with oil so you couldn't see inside. They're not as cool as you would think. -Josh, aka the tireburner
