We had to borrow some valve covers to run the engine from Jay Brown as well as a set of his headers.
I am waiting on covers from three different sources, I am sure that they will all be done about the same time.
The engine was not run with that air cleaner, it had no air cleaner at all. If I was going to use that air cleaner I would get a K&N element to go in it. I am sure that the air cleaner would hurt it a little. The engine gave us no problems on the dyno and really surprised me on how well it idled and how smooth it ran. This thing will idle at 700 rpms and would cruse at 2500 rpms I think. Not very noisy or anything like I thought it might be. Ended up being a pretty neat peice.
Is someone would buy my Kirkham that I have for sale right now I would do one with this thing.

Thanks, Keith
