Valve cover cover on or off?

Just wondering, I took mine off the day after I got it, and it had been off untill late last week, and I'm kinda liking it on there, for now at least.

Just wondering if yall had yours on or off...

And because I'm a moron I put yes and no, instead of on or off. So unless an admin wants to fix it for me, Yes is off

Hey my brain doesn't work right...(I'm sure you have figured that out by now)

I was originally going to make the question "did you take the Aluminum cover off?" and I phrased the options for that question. As to why I did so see my first post

Can a mod change it to on or off? It is VERY confusing.

I took mine off recently to monitor some oil leaks after I put on new valve cover gaskets.. I haven't put it back on yet, sorta reminds me of my 89.

mine is off after my 1st valve adjustment. It looks so much better with the six idividual covers. That Al thing is useless.

Umm, by noticing that the pipe off the turbo goes towards the front of the truck, and not straight across the engine maybe?
