The spacers were originally fitted to mine with the original bolts, I had to get longer bolts and also tap the holes deeper as one of the threads was stripping.

I dont like the spacers in between the motor housing and the cam cover because of air and rain water.
Unfortunately I dont really see and understand the venting solution on the photos above…did S&S cut some slots into the cam cover…could somebody post detailed photos how the final or actual solution of the vented cam cover is made?
Icould do the job on a milling machine by myself…but I would like to do no mistakes.

I stand corrected, the photo of it is of the original and not the one that has machined slots. Send me a PM with your email address and I will send you a photo of the cover.

@ LightSpeed - good idea... I just looked for images on google and found this intersting way of venting inside the transparent cover: https://www.given.it/en/prodotto/carter-distribuzione-x-wedge-ss-e-crs-duu/I will check if I can do it in a mostlikely similar way!

Lot of time with the software to control the CNC perhaps? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.given.it/wp-content/uploads/SS-Cam-Cover-3-1.jpg)

My point exactly, since the machine would not operate without it.

As well as the two slots on the underside of the raised bars on the front of the cover there is a slot cut in the base of the cover, again out of normal sight. The cars that have the slots in the cover from manufacture still have the spacer washers fitted.
