Who cares about function. All that matters is how pretty it looks

Quoting yourself, nice

Am I the only one who doesn't care how pretty it is, as long as it functions well?
Nevermind, obviously.

You're playing my song and I'm dancing. We're talking about 400whp here.

There's a provision for a banjo bolt on that side of the head? Did you just hog out that NPT fitting for some straight thread?

That's post oil restrictor, so is there any concern for starving the cam journals a bit?
