Making some add on fins for the heads.
Any extra cooling is a plus.
Also wanting to disguise the engine. A lot if folks don't know what it is. Would like to fool a few more.

I made these exhaust flange fin rings a while back.
An old school mototorcycle look.

Any other ideas to make it appear different/less identifiable?

Get rid of the bail type valve covers and go to bolt on for one. :p
I did do that. I want to vent different and I drilled holes in those.
I searched and searched for something really different for covers. Did find a set of old AeroVee *airplane covers and tryed to get them. But they sold for way too much money.
In the end I got another set of cheap no name covers.
But i sure thought it would be neeto for someone to say "I dunno, look that name up" and come up with an airplane site......lol....still makes me giggle.
There they are.

I looked at these for a long time.
Different but I don't want to be identified as that either. The 4 cam covers fit.

:D That is the same set I purchased a couple of months ago man. Look pretty good. Now, before explaining one thing I just want to say
I did get "Fire In The Hole" Saturday!!! Run the cam in, drained the oil, changed filter, and took that puppy for a quick scoot yesterday.........And all thanks to you my friend for shipping them awesome rockers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Came up behind a pickup doing about 50 on the highway. Waited until I had the opening and hammered it, went around the pickup, looked down and was doing a hundred.....:laugh:
10 fold better than the original 1641 that was in it.
Now on the subject of them valve covers; I found that at least 2 of the bolts bottomed out on the top of the rocker studs and didn't tighten down enough, of course causing an oil leak. Be sure to check the length of the bolts Rex. I ended up cutting about .030 off the ends of the bolts which seemed to be plenty. Didn't crush the included O'ring and still sealed up good.
It's a BMW right?
Stinger,
Good news! !! Happy for ya.
At least one of us is back in the wind.
I wonder how peppy the fk10 will be.....
The lobe lift is fairly low. That is why I had to change to 1.4 rockers.
FuzzyWuzHe.
It may be.... or maybe a motoguzzi. Don't know can't be sure, a vw ain't supposed to be in front like that.
This is an old post but it does show an option: [URL]http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=177589&highlight=tomahawk[/URL] . Some thing to pursue............isn't that half the fun?

Another thought. How about machining a plate for the valve covers, secured by the bolts that says "snu snu engineering" ?
Yeah....I looked at a lot of stuff like that on the samba classifieds. Maybe not that specific one. They wanted in the 200 dollar range for anything unusual. Those porch *covers up there were 200 also. I got the cheap bolt ons, unless something shows up on ebay, then they are gonna be it.
I dunno if I wanna put snu snu on a cover. Watch the vid in my other thread to see where that name came from.

Just had to see what it is looking like.

A few know my name ... they might get the tag on the filter lid. Still not confident about it. Was gonna be just SupeRex.
