Valve cover vent cap

.

Hey thanks guys. I don't mind making one if there are no other options. I have the steel caps from the 360s valve cover and I could definitely make something work from that, but the things I create never turn out as nice and usually cost me just as much in time and energy.

I am really just wondering if there is another option to buy something like Yoshifabs creation?

@Angus242164 thanks Angus. I'm using the 531 head.

Ok. So, not having any luck sourcing another company offering a vented valve cap, I decided to make my own. Actually, I made two...

Here's how I did it:

02 sensor extender - m18 x 1.5 thread and 37mm long.

M18 1.5 to AN10 banjo fitting

Welded onto cap and primed

Hole cut out of oil cap lid + painted

Just waiting on the banjo bolts to arrive. I personally prefer the banjo bolt setup, rather than a straight pipe or vertical fitting, because I have about 50mm of clearance between the bonnet and the oil cap in the 360. I will post a photo of it all together once I'm done. I had to pay for my machinist friend to weld the 02 sensor extension on, which almost doubled the cost of making them! But each one cost approx $55, not including my time. $35 in fittings and $20 in labour.

Looks really good! I can MIG weld at home and have a bucket full of the steel caps, maybe we should go into business!

I am always open to going into business with like-minded individuals. But ah, maybe something more sustainable

Here's the links to the fittings if you wish to do them yourself?

I also ordered one of these, but I might just be using a straight an10 hose connection that I have here already.

@Angus242164 No worries. I just checked out that seller on eBay. Very impressed with their postage rates and prices! I'll keep them in mind when I need my next fix. Thanks!

I'll get NavFab to start making these then.

NavFab has a nice ring to it.
