is it true that if you have a cut valve cover you wont pass the visual inspection of the smog test?

 

Whaddya mean by "cut"?

:edit: Like, for cam gears?

 

yes for the cam gears

 

I've never heard of anyone having troubles with it done like that.

 

here in cali, smog shops can be dicks like that and see if ur valve cover is cut and that u have adjustable cam gears, u will not pass visual even if it is set to 0 degrees. thats what happen to me. but magical things happen when u know ppl who work for smog shops.

late

 

Damn.....I hate the whole race scene down here in S.C. (Dirty South) if there is one lol, but at least we dont have those smog tests. From what I've read it sounds like ya'll go though hell with those things.

 

not with connections and $$$

 

But why would you have to cut your valve cover? my cam gear went rite on

 

the reason why they have to cut the valve cover is because they have a dohc which the vavle cover covers half of the cam gears.
