Title: 131 Plenum cover Post by: F131 on December 13, 2011, 09:27:44 AM Do you guys fit "plenum cover" on your Twin Cam engines? I am talking about covering the area between cam covers. I did on a few engines and people were asking if the engine is a 16V because it looks so compact.

Removed in a few seconds for the service of spark plugs, changes the appearance of the engine.
