Make sure you prime them. Be carefull with the coil plugs pulled and the covers off. Easy for dirt to fall in the valve train.

Thanks, I hope one day they'll have the black krinkle finned covers available like on older Cobras.

For those that have done this, any issue re-using the factory gasket?

It shouldn't be since they're made out of rubber, but I went ahead and played it safe spending the $23 for a new set. It'd be a PITA to get everything back together and have a seep. Make sure you torque them in the correct sequence.

Thanks, and yes, definate on the torque sequence.....

Just pulled the trigger on these this morning. Cannot stand looking at the factory covers after having the silver ceramic coated headers installed......

Thx.

If you want (and either currently have or plan on purchasing a cap set) leave the plastic pour extender off the oil filler. Both the OEM and new cap will cinch down tight and it gives it a cleaner look.
