I just finished making some custom 8mm wires for the car. I still want to wrinkle black or red paint the valve covers/intake manifold... but I am having a hard time deciding if I want to even put back the covers now.


The coil wires haven't been made yet and I see that the engine is dirty as fk lmao.

I have always preferred valve covers to plastic covers.

NO covers!!!

I always prefered the plastic cover cause the 1UZ has wires everywhere and not much slack in any of them to do a good harness tuck job.

Keep the covers on. Your ignition leads will last much longer and they keep dirt and moisture out of your spark plug tubes.

(I understand using larger leads, but why else would you leave the covers off?)
Does anyone still honestly think spark plug wires look cool anymore?

I thought plug wires are a thing of the past.

Anything good is C.O.P. these days.

I vote no plastic covers but I could be bias.

wow Scotturnot, that is an awesome setup. Im glad your car is running well now redphoenix. I would vote for the no covers, but maybe some rubber gromets or something to cover the plug holes.

Upper and lower cover assemblies removed on my TT V8 setup. They just date the motor so much..
Scotts solution is the be-all-end-all nicest way to go about doing things though, DEFINITELY.

Have your company Quantum-Auto fab some sort of valvecover wire covers somewhat like Scotts, possibly?
[That'd be a nice product to sell to the 1UZ guys..]

Army-Navy fittings...



I think I will keep the covers off... I want to clean up the valve covers though!

Hey scott are you running a coil on plug setup cause i see a welded cover over the valve cover area ,but no access to it. Can you still take those covers off even though they don't look accessible?

I love it when regular maintenance fixes all the problems cough cough LMAO!

Yep, COP's, the covers come right off, there will be some small bolts securing them when they are done.
