when I get my plenum installed can I still use my OEM engine cover?

 

Yes, you just need to use the spacers that come with the plenum.

 

thanks bro

 

You may also need to adjust the strut bar to avoid any vibration & rubbing. The spacers I used were 1/2 the thickness of what came w/ the V4 plenum. Use 2 clay ***** on top of the highest point of the plenum & cover. Close the hood to test if you have enough clearance.

 

I didn't put my engine cover back on, or the strut bar. I tried using some spacers on the strut bar but it was still pretty close.

 

who painted your plenum??

 

Does the Kinetix plenum offer less air in than the crawford? Seeing as the kinetix still clears the strut bar and allows the enigine cover I would think it doesn't reely allow that much more air than the stock plenum. anyone have an answer? By the way jlimquest that engine bay looks gorgeous. It definately looks beeter than the crawford.

 

I attached the cover with the front screws only

I sanded, primed & painted the Kinetix plenum w/ Plasticote Engine enamel high-heat paint (500 degrees). Bought them in Pep Boys. The Engine cover was painted by Gundam02.

 

Anyone have an answer regarding the airflow of the kinetix plenum versus the crawford?
