I am finally getting back to working on my Triumph engined 72 TVR. I guess
if I was being honest I would admit I am still mostly in armchair mode. I
am trying to decide if I want to spend the coin to replace the original
sheet metal valve cover with an alloy cover: Moss has these on sale right
now. Do folks on the list figure the alloy valve cover is a good way to go?
I figure it will make the engine a little less like the tractor engine it
is.
